Family Surname: It Was Blakey Not Blakley, Sorta

Enter dated: In the year 1985: My father's brother, Isaac and his wife, Anna moved to South Dakota in the 1930's. They discovered that the family surname was BLAKEY not BLAKLEY.

Some of my thoughts:

I think it was during the 1970's or early 1980's when I learn about the spelling of my family surname. It was spelled BLAKEY. Back then, I didn't know the reason why our surname was changed. But through family searching I made some discovers.

Thanks for reading.
