Spelling problems make some records difficult to interpret. Family names and place names were often spelled phonetically, which would alter the spelling from record keeper to record keeper. This problem is further complicated by spelling names in different languages that have different spelling rules or even different alphabets. For example, foreign words with an h are generally rewritten in Russian with the letter '''g''' ['''г''']. The Russian letter '''b''' (pronounced as a '''v''') is written in English as '''v''' but in German as '''w'''. The Family History Library has [[:Category:Word List|genealogical word lists]] that include suggested spelling variations. You may want to become familiar with the spelling rules of the languages in the areas you research. | Spelling problems make some records difficult to interpret.
