Fredrick (aka Friedrich, Friederike, Fredericke, and Frederick) Presuhn is a good example of the problems surrounding names from this community during this time.
It's not unusual to find the same person's name spelled several ways in a single
source. A major factor seems to be whether the original conversation was in
English, German, or possibly Platt or, in some cases, Friesisch. His wife's maiden name is even more problematic - even sources within the family differ.

first of all, thanks so much for the plethora of information.
What I find myself doing is picking one that appears most places and then on the edit option there is on the left hand side a tab called about me. There is where I put the name discrepancies . Just my two cents.

Thanks again, and thanks for letting me be your fb friend, its nice to have a face with the name. :)
