The only issue mine had was when my dad's parents came over my Grandma was an O'Conner, she said they dropped the O in the Ocean and changed to Conner when her family came to the country. Once that was figured out it got easier to trace.
The story for ours (which has not been confirmed) was that two brothers who were scheduled for "deportation" to Australia from England changed their names to our current one when they stowed away to America.

My family's name was Leonardo but they changed it to Leotardo at Ellis Island. Because they're stupid and jealous and disrespected a proud Italian heritage.

Wait no, that's an episode The Sopranos.
