Good luck with your gg gf. I hope he isn't one of those they mis-spelled so badly you'll never recognize him. One of my English ancestors, Wilfred Annetts, was transcribed as Wolfo Arrenti, but in all fairness, the census-taker's writing was very hard to read. It took me years to find him here as I had no idea where he'd moved to once arriving from England.
