HI there



re the Rabens or Robins... The discrepancy could be cause by a local Dialect and how the person filling in the forms thought the surname was written... I had something similar with a rellie.. His surname was Matchett but was written as Maxwell on his marriage certificate... This was due to his thick Irish accent and the Session Clerk's hearing... lol
