“I’m gonna guess historical fiction. There are soooooo many fairy tales in a family. “

Better to check it out than to guess.

We were told this on a recent train ride in Skagway and I checked it out.

Grandpa Trump changed his name from Trumpf to fit in easier.

Changing names was common. My mother’s was spelled differently. My in laws changed their name. And my uncles...their real names were totally different from what we always called them.
