Hadiiye was a misspelling for Hadiye.I found Rheie to be a better form than Rheia.Some of the Yiddish names were moved to other spellings and/or transliterations: Gluke -> Glika, Feibush -> Feivush, Ruchel -> Rochel, Yussel -> Yossel.

I can't comment on the other ones, but Ruchel was actually a pretty common Yiddish form of Rachel, and is found quite consistently in the various census records in the 19th century.

Hmm, yes, perhaps this should be re-added.
