   "No One’s Name Was Changed at Ellis Island!

   No one’s family name was changed, altered, shortened, butchered, or “written down wrong” at Ellis Island or any American port. That idea is an urban legend."

   Good to get rid of old wives tales and urban legends, unless they are extremely entertaining!
