My fathers parents came to the United States during the first quarter of this century. They Americanized the name. Originally Istook had one "o." When they became U.S. citizens they marked the occasion. they marked the change by adding the second "o" as it has now. They came through Ellis Island. They are a part of the immigration saga of America. And when they became U.S. citizens. they received their certificate of naturalization. which my father had framed and now displays proudly in his home. My father grew up speaking two languages: Hungarian at home. but every place else. English.
