People updating their family names

Currently I'm working with the records relating the villages smaller than 250 inhabitants, from 1987 till 2007

My first hard work is to verify the 6.600 records in order to guarantee that the names can be recognized, in the sense that Mr. Joaquin ( In Spanish ) Tortades, is the same candidate than Mr Joaquim ( In Catalan ) Tortades, and also the same than Mr Quim ( Familiar form of the name in Catalan ) Tortades.

This is needed to be able to follow their political career along the time, specially if they have been changing from a party to another, or to others in general.

The names have been manually digitalized, and there is a high number of typing errors, which makes standarization to be a huge work
