Comments: The name Cecil spelled "Scifsell" and other similar variants by some in an attempt to provide the name as it is found in earlier records.To clear up some confusion; when a double "s" was found in a word in years gone by, it was spelled with the first "s" differentiated, so that it appears as an "f" by some modern-day observers. However, it was not an "f." It was a stylized "s." So, w hen you observe what appears to be the word "Scifsell" in early recor ds, please know that it is in fact "Scissell." Or in other words, a p honetc spelling variation of the word as we know it today. --
