You also have to take into account that many names were changed/misunderstood during immigration. My family name was changed due to a mixup in translating Russian letters.

That is true. I think a lot of those names I was thinking of were changed. It’s interesting isn’t it? My mom’s dad’s parents are buried under one name but he and I think all of his siblings are buried under another. The story he always told and maybe you guys with parents that were the children of immigrants can help out here but he always insisted that a teacher changed it. However, when I started chatting with his older sister’s daughter, she said her mother told her a similar story.
