Multiple spellings

[wilderness]

Anybody have a clue how Google (and other SE's) would handle a multiple spelling of a name separated by a slash (both in a page title and in multiple instances within body text)?
EX:

Smith/Smyth
OR
and/or

The problem is that I have multiple references (some by the same author) to two different spellings of a name and am without any capability to verify which is the correct spelling.

Thanks in advance.

Because of proximity factors, I'd suggest using the full name in both versions - and you may get more human readable results by using parentheses instead of a forward slash:

Bob Smith (Bob Smyth) ...instead of Bob Smith/Bob Smyth

Still, on the machine side the forward slash will usually be treated a spurious punctuation.

Many thanks tedster.

I was after all, able to locate the correct spelling (at least with an assurance of correctness).

I had a 1936 photo of the person.
Checked the 1920 and 1930 US Census which provided the Year of his birth and the county/state in which he died.
The photo matched his approximate age in the 1936 photo.

I simply added a webmasters note in an h4 at the bottom of the web page.
In addition I corrected some 35 incorrect spellings of the name within my dataset and by various authors and/or publications.

Right/wrong...full speed ahead.

Many thanks.
