Come to find out his great-grandparents or grandparents? came from Poland and had an unusual surname. The officials at Ellis Island changed their name to LEWIS. I just wondered if anyone else found this out. Betty (near Lowell, MA) **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
