NOW the "Subchat Element" is telling me that my grandfather getting his surname misselled did not happen. It happened.It did not happen. That's just what he told his relatives so as to hide from them that HE chose that spelling at either Ellis Island (especially if from Cyrillic) or back in the old country when they compiled the ship manifest. He probably had some good reason to want to spell it differently but blamed it on Ellis Island people so it wouldn't seem like he "dishonored" the family name. You may be surprised at what those good reasons may be. You now have a nice, fun research project. his STILL happens today at the DMV and other official offices ALL the time. DMVs don't go off manifests. DMV personnel are not assisted by teams of people fluent in the language of their customers. |
