Variations in spelling of surname

With such an unusual surname, you'd think it would be easy to track down ancestors - I've got so far back but seem stuck at present. However, I know that there are variations in the spelling of our surname and wonder how to contact people with a similar surname? Genesco seems only to recognise the surname I have input, although I know there are others with a similar name, on the site. Anyone any ideas?

Hi,I have this problem with most of my surnames;we really need a soundex option! Every so often I go on search and put in all the different variations of my names,but it's very time consuming!
