Sarah Bouteillier (Grange) - Boutilier surname

Private User A photo and translation of the "passport" can be found online. Before the passport, in France, the name was actually spelled Bouteillier. This spelling is still found in the Chagey area of Montbeliard today. There are records of my ancestors with it spelled Bouteiller, Bouteilier, Boutilier, Butler, etc.

People misspelled the "correct" spelling many times and this can be found with pretty much ALL surnames over a period of a few hundred years. I have relatives that still spell it Boutellier.

So YES. There is double L's in the spelling at times and thus, ALL spelled versions ARE correct.

As well, some of the children of Jean George and Sarah were in Lunenburg within a few months of arriving in 1752 and is reflected in some records.
