Take a moment to attach records to every name mentioned - not just the principal person. I was given a list from family search of ancestors that were found in historical records. Almost by rote, I began the attaching process.
A few minutes in, however, and I noticed the name for Nelson Willits wife was not what I was expecting. Someone had listed her as Lucy A. Holsinger (no documentation attached and no parents. see 2S3B-SK9) This record spelled her name Hattinger. As I began attaching records, I found her name as Haltinger and Haddinger. These new spellings open up opportunities to find her family: parents, brothers, and sisters.
