In Response To: Jas Wade abt 1855 ()

One way which helps spot the difference between Jas (James) and Jos (Joseph) is that Jos: is often written like that, showing the abbreviation. Names abbreviated by using the first and last letters like Jas and Wm - no colon. Thomas may be written Tho: or Thos and Elin: or Elinr etc.
