The background of the record keeper or Spanish phonetics may affect the way names appear in genealogical records. For example the names of your ancestor may vary from record to record, at times William may appear as Guillermo, Friedrick as Federico or Georg as Jorge. For help in understanding name variations, see [[Argenina Names, Personal]]. | The background of the record keeper or Spanish phonetics may affect the way names appear in genealogical records.
