Family Name C^erkauskas

Gina, I'm new at this so go slow.I was born a Kirkauskas and when I was three our family changed it to Kirks.I could never get a good handle on why but I think that in the late 40s it was done a lot.Our family on my dads side were all coal miners and bar owners in eastern Penn.
I typed in my birth name and you were a close match.I understand that there are several ways to spell Kirkauskas because when our people got to this country the people helping them with their paperwork did there best to get it right. My grandfathers brothers all have differnt spellings because they all came in at differant times and differnt ports.Pete
