   My original family name is Sekulavich - Lithuanian - changed at Ellis Island when my great grandfather came to the US. Here, I am Sekula.

     Yes, that's right - "vich" just meant "son of", but that said it's the name my great grandfather came bearing to Ellis Island. He proudly left with a slightly chopped name, so he could be "more American." I find the whole thing funny, since at the time neither was American. ;-)
