Immigration and Name Changes
Immigration was also a name-changer. The Americanizing of names was common. To better fit in to society, find suitable employment, and/or hide from hate groups; our ancestors sometimes altered their names. Examples are: a French family changing their name from Boullier to the English translation of Butler, or an Eastern European family changing their surname from Sobieski to Sobi.
