Thank you Berti,
Strange that it had never occurred to me that my husband and I might be named
Chayes, even though I know that the family changed their name from Schneider
To Taylor after relocating to Scotland.
And now I cannot resist telling a joke; How does a Jewish family living in Scotland
Come to be named Ferguson? Answer: On the ship from Latvia the Jewish man
Is told that Kaganovich is not a good name in Britain and he is advised to take
A more English sounding name, so he chooses one, but when he arrives in Scotland,
He is tired and confused, so when the immigration officer asks him for his name,
He answers: "shoin fergessen", and becomes Shawn Ferguson.
