Do you have the exact same surname that your direct paternal great-great-grandfather was born with?

[Bobby Martnen]

lol, no. It's very Italian sounding but I won't say it here for privacy reasons.

Lasagna?

[Lemon Kush]

Yes

[Taiguaitiaoghyrmmumin]

Why do you have your great-grandmother's surname?

Shit happens. He got her last name instead. But the son of her knew his father and met. Even my father met him before. Thats how I know i bout it. If not I would have never known so much and be able to track my line for a few hundred years. Because i would be mis guided thinking it was a different name i had to track.

Not my paternal last name is probably from dutch or austia. I meant my matches. My paternal last name i know of is really supposed to from france from hundreds of years but its possible it had a different paternal before that last name because my match has a different one also

No, my great-grandfather was given his mother's maiden name as a surname for superstitious reasons.

No.

[Teutone]

OF course, I despite "men" that take the family name of their wife, and as far I know this wasnt even allowed in Germany ever, till now ofc.

[Bobby Martnen]

No.

What was the superstitious reason that led him to get his mom's maiden name?

As do I, it's disgusting and immoral.

A lot of Americans don't have the same surname as their great-great-grandfather though, because of Americanization of immigrant surnames.
