We had a bit of a funny family legend that goes like this: when our great grandfather arrived at Ellis Island and the agent asked him the family name he responded “Vhat.” The agent kept repeating the question getting the same response. Frustrated by the response that sounded like a question, the agent assigned our great grandfather the surname White. And just like that the family had a new identity that went along with their new home.
