Thank you! So many families changed their names when they came over. Sometimes just a letter or two, like yours, and sometimes a completely different name, such as an anglicization of the original. It's good to know where your name originated, because that could help you trace it back further, if you wanted to.

Yes, I believe it was quite the scandal in those times. I'd imagine that Fannie didn't want to be judged by the community. The Eutslers were a prominent family, and coming forward, marrying George after she was obviously pregnant would have probably attracted attention.
