Well, I'm wondering what my last name is really supposed to be. According to one census record that I've traced, the name was Marrow. I know that with accents and immigration, a lot of the time officials changed names to make them easier to record and pronounce. It makes for an interesting time trying to trace family history down. HAH!
So, I came to this conclusion when I was searching FindaGrave for some of Peter and Sarahs kids and found the oldest boy, Peter's. Under Marrow, not Marron. So since he was the oldest, stands to reason, he'd remember his real last name a little better than the others.
I'm still not certain. Nothing is certain when tracing via old paperwork.
If only I could go back in time to see, you know?
