Dear In-law Great, Great, Great Grandfather Smith,
I am putting you on my list of people I hope to have dinner with one day in heaven, or wherever it is we go. I really, though, have only one question for you: How did you REALLY spell your first name?
Was it Kilbourne, Kilbourn, Cilburn, Cilborn, Kilburn, Kiburn, Kilorn, Kilbouen, or Killborn? Because I have now found you listed each of these ways. Numerous times. I thought your unique first name would make you easier to research, but honestly, searching for every spelling possible is just about IMpossible.
Sincerely,
Me
This may be one of the few circumstances one could be grateful for a surname as "simple" as Smith.
