The spelling of this family's name
has appeared in many different forms over the years and throughout the
documents.
Most of the people in rural Germany in the late 19th century were illiterate and relied on church pastors to write
their names into the record books. Often, the pastor simply spelled a
name phonetically to the best of his ability or just spelled it
incorrectly without reference to earlier entries by another cleric.
The birth, census, marriage and death records for what we will
call the Regelin family have been recorded in at least the eight
variations listed at the top of this page. The dates and places match
for each person but the name may be spelled differently on various
forms. We will give most weight to instances where the person actually
signed his or her name. Also, names chiseled onto headstones are usually
creditable.
