Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person.

Migration of the Salkind family

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America.

Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..
