The Name Thesaurus

We've all seen it.  Census record after census record we find our ancestor, but the name is always slightly different.  We know it's the same man because his wife has the same name, he lives in the same house, and even has the proper age in regards to the decade of the census, BUT the census worker or the transcriber or even our ancestor himself got creative with the name spelling.

There is a fantastic website by Image Partners that checks for all possible spellings of last names in a Name Thesaurus.  It might miss a few choices, but there are many less possibilities than with other websites to look up surnames.  It's atwww.namethesaurus.com/Thesaurus/search.aspx.
