When Great Grandpa Madsen came over from Sweden he changed his name to our current family name which means ‘New Mountain’ because he felt he was climbing a mountain by moving to America. (I LOVE that!)
On the OTHER side of the family, when that Great Grandpa came over from Germany he switched religions from Jewish to Lutheran because he didn’t want his future ‘American Family’ to have the persecution he endured. (God Bless Him!) He didn’t change our original German surname.
And then, as you know, I worked for the ‘Jung’ family for a decade or so. ;)
Yeah. I’m a mutt. Sworn to fun, loyal to none, LOL!
I knew this would find the “Jung” thing interesting!
