The use of the "o" in the early generations was used only by a minority of the family, most tracing their descent back to Willem Jansz Caspersen, son of Jan Casperse, and grandson of Kaspar Jacobsz.
It would seem that if the majority of the family adopted the use of the "a" version, then the ancestral home would also have the "a" as the second letter.
