Liebbrandt name change to present day Lybrand

Posted: 2 Feb 2010 1:09PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Liebbrandt, Lybrand
I am a descendant of Jake/Julius Lybrand of Mt Ida, Arkansas (Jake was my grandfather) who I do know their father or grandfather homesteaded in the area (there is actually a Lybrand Road still existing where the family homestead was). I was aware by my father that at some point after the family came to America the spelling of our last name was drastically changed. I have always been curious as to why this decision was made to change the name from its original form. I also know our descendants originated in Germany not far from where my mothers descendants originated from although my father for years denied any German ancestry. If anyone has any further information on the Liebbrandt name please reply.
Thank you,
Dana Lybrand
