Since immigrants usually didn't speak, read or write English, the spelling of their name changed as often as the person writing it - and was often phonetic.
Accents, and the fact that other languages do not have the same 26 letter A-Z alphabet that English does, also contributed to making translations tricky and documentation difficult.
As if that wasn't enough the spelling of names is complicated by relocation. As they moved, individuals in one county or state would be taught the spelling of their name differently than the same family members in another.
In addition, names eventually were Anglicised, making it difficult to determine which is the actual, correct version, so for the most part I have used the spelling of the name the family has agreed upon or where possible the name on the headstone.
In this instance the headstone spelling was the least used - so I went with the most often used. Corrections welcome.
