Eckstein changed to Eckstine
My Eckstine family has a story about why the name was changed from Eckstein to Eckstine.My uncle says long ago there was a family member who was a horse thief and so the family changed their name to Eckstine to distance themselves from this black sheep, to ostracize him.Any truth to this story?
