No “joke” too it

My last name is 100% fabricated. My grandfather and his brother, both in the very early teens came through Ellis Island from Scicily

Whatever the immigration officer heard, what we have have now for a last name is found nowhere but immediate family

My last name was fabricated sometime between 1928 and 1932. By Grandfather was dishonorably discharge from the Navy for consistently going AWOL, and show up in New York City using the last name “Newton.” It was originally “Hess.”
