Chanukah TRAIN SETS ? Why no one produces them ?

That being said, there has been a lot of adaptation of names to avoid discrimination.  I discovered long after her death that my Irish-born maternal grandmother, who lived with my family throughout my childhood, went from Bridget Mary Murphy to Beatrice Mary Fleming when she immigrated and married my grandfather.

On the other side, my great-grandfather Anders Svenson, whose father was Sven Nilsson, became Andrew S. Nelson.  The "S." presumably memorialized his former patronym, although he seems never to have written it out.  And Andrew and Nelson are less-Swedish respellings of his given name and his father's surname.
