That is really good advice Shirley and Mary Ann. I found different
spellings of 2 of the names I am searching... Blimling was Plimling, and
Yeck was Jeick.... like you said "just like it sounds"....

This helped me to find a land record... I used the Plimling spelling..
Must have been the same clerk filling out both papers. hehe
