Geo. A. Johnson name change to JENSEN

I have a Jensen in my line who had his name changed by immigration when he came to the US from Denmark, to Johnson. I know he went by Hans Johnson, but his original name was Hans Jensen Enmark. They dropped his last name all together. I was lucky to have that story handed down. It was common to have a name changed at immigration when our ancestors came over. I don't know how you could find out if his last name was dropped and his middle name changed to Johnson. Then later he changed it back to Jensen. Something you might try to look into. Good luck.
