The spelling McCaughern I quote is correct.
The descentants live at the bottom of my lane and I have both went to school with and regularly recieve mail to their wrong address.

What you are talking about is the current spelling of a particular family but throughout other records there will be other variations used.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I understand that fully especially with a name with so many very similar variations.
The person is looking for descendants of a man who only passed on in recent times. I thought that there is no point in anyone researching several spellings whilst we know the correct spelling for this particular family.
