Read the excerpt from "Ellis Island." Sometimes people's surnames were changed. Bietzy to Peachey. Hecht to Heck. Many Americans can point to the fact that their family names are different from their original spelling in the "old country." It is commonly thought that the clerks at Ellis Island misunderstood the names or decided to simplify them. Which is the best paraphrase of the text?
