Also, do you have any info on Aaron's wife "Fannie". I found out that Fannies Yiddishe name was "Frumma Annie", which on this plaque http://data.jewishgen.org/imagedata/memorial/USA-00268/P0170b.jpg is listed as "פרומה עני בת ר' צבי" - do you know if she, or any of these people, have some sort of rabbonnishe yichus? I see you list her father's name as Hirsch, perhaps it was really [R'] Tzvi-Hirsch, which was and is a common Hebrew name?

Yes, this is almost certainly the same Fannie Komornik (Frumma-Annie) listed in your tree, who probably also went along with the name change to "Mallock". I think what probably happened is that my Great-Grandfather Abraham was actually the one who made (or perhaps quietly accepted upon arrival...) the name change to Mallock, as he actually arrived in the Boston before the first World War (and served in it and was permanently crippled in a gas attack), and only brought his father Aaron to Boston in the 30's. Probably at that time, the name "Mallock" had become established with Abraham, who was a trader/peddler, and Aaron, who was likely just known to most as Abraham's father, accepted the change.
