On the profiles you create for the surname Schroedel and Schrödel. The last name at birth should be the one used in the surname (LNAB) field and you can add the other spelling in the other last name field with a note as to when the change in the spelling was made under the bio section. But the correct way is to always use the "last name at birth" in the surname field. that was given to a person by the parents. That way they are listed correctly.
