Re: Confusion with "Don" & "Dan" transcriptions

I have found this situation also whilst searching for my g-grandfather whose name I knew to be "James". When I found him in a record he was listed as "Jos" which I assume would have been the abbreviation for Joseph. It originally may have been "Jas" and misinterpretted. It can happen easily. Best of luck in your search!
