From what I gather, it was a way to "start over" in the new country. Smythe/Smith you know...
There are more 'lap's here than 'lop's so there must be some truth in the story.
When I was over for the ISA conference I went up to Scotland and spent a nice day in Dunlop. No one in the family has done the geneolgy to track back the bloodlines. This is an odd, American thing, to look back to where "we're from"
Actually, I don't consider myself anything but a midwestern American.

Tom, I just noticed you were a lap and not a lop! In any case it sounds the same, right?
A lot of family names got changed by the workers at Ellis Island filling out the forms, or so I've heard...

That's an old myth that has never been substantiated. On the Ellis Island page you can search through copies of the ship's passenger manifests. I found the page of my Mom's Dad and his brother. They emigrated from what is now Poland when they were 9 and 10. When I was on Ellis Island I got to stand in the room that all emigrants passed through. It was a wonderful feeling to know that my Grandfather had been there around 90 years before. I was there with Paolo Baveresco and he found that his uncle, and namesake, had donated to the restoration of Ellis Island. That was a fun day for both of us. Having the connection to our families at the same time.
