somewhat similar (but completely different) story from here in Canada. One of my best friends growing up, his last name was Bourque. when we were about 15 his cousins moved to town and their last name was "Burke". I asked him why they were different if they were his cousins, (names seemed to similar to be a completely different name). Turns our when his dad joined the military (almost 60 years ago now and while living in Nova Scotia), they spelled his name wrong on his military ID. after trying to get it corrected for years, it turned out to be easier for him to legally change his name to Bourque, which he did.
