Wow, Max, sound like your Plas had a tough time with their name (at least with it staying the same spelling.) We have Reeces, and aside from the obvious misspelling of ReeSe, I've also seen Reace, Rees, Reas ... it goes on. And don't get me started on my Kegans and Pevehouses!

I have an ancestor named Samirimus who was written down as "Jemima" on a census! I guess her name was pronounced "Suh-MY-ruh-mus" and whoever told the enumerator must've really had a thick Southern accent!
