Anyway, so now the family is named Podolsky. Come 1919, the Bolsheviks take over Russia, and he decides it's a bad idea to sound like a Russian. Decides to change the name.
Well, he and my grandfather agree that it should be changed to Podos. His other two sons, my great-uncles, vehemently disagree on the spelling. This goes on for about six months... huge family fights that actually never really healed. One of'em decides on Podus, and the other decides on Podis. All legally change their names.
So now, there's this sprawl of Pod*s progeny running around... all three versions are artificially manufactured, so any Pod*s is definitely in the clan.
Every once in a while a meet one... and they don;t all know the story! Couple of years ago, I had to set up a family conference call to prove it to a guy I met in LA!
So be on the lookout for anybody named Pod*s (all warmongers, btw).
