Additional Information:

6 brothers came to United States in the early 1900's and were processed through Ellis Island. Family story is that immigration shortened the original name to 10 letters. This was due to a surge of Europeans arriving to the US with names by U.S.standards of the time, excessively long. To save time, many names were shortened to a max of 10 letters. To my knowledge, no one is aware of the original spelling.
