re: Went down the ancestry rabbit hole: Why would someone change spelling of last name?

My Acadian ancestors had their family name Americanized during that period.
Somehow, our real family name is lost despite my mom, my aunts, and me all trying to find it. It sucks having a generic last name as a Cajun. One of the perks of being Cajun should be having a cool family name like Thibodeaux, Boudreaux, or Hebert, but here we are. (And yes, I’m certain we’re Cajun; I did a stupid and got a DNA test).
