newyork-nightmare 698 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah, found out my last name isnt my real last name. It was changed due to reasons still unknown. Was changed in the 40's.

JustHatched 12,103 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Mine is rather interesting One my dad's side it can be traced to France back to the 1650's, the French version of my last name is a bit different than the American version. I had relatives in the American Revolution, the family had a plantation in Virginia with ship and imported slaves and fought with the Confederacy in the American Civil War. On mom's side not much is known, my grandmother was born and raised Canadian and never was a US citizen and got to live here due to being married to my grandfather. She had a brother who was a Canadian Mountie and another brother whom defected to the Soviet Union and was an officer in their military. His whereabouts are not known past about 1973. 1 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
