The name is indeed written "Vernäll" in the records you linked to -- and in the others I looked up ... If that is the "correct" spelling is another question ;) ...

Variant spellings that you might see:

* Wernäll, Wernell, Vernell would all sound the same and could reasonably be adopted by the bearers themselves
* Värnell or Wärnell is an easy misspelling and a reasonable and almost identical sounding name in it's own right
* "Vemäll", as some indexers have read it (conflating the two letters "rn" into one "m") is, on the other hand, quite foreign-sounding to Swedish ears ...
