My grandfather was a Guckian and changed his name to Hackett when he came over to the US from County Leitrim. His name was John Hackett; his father was Patrick and great granfather's name was William. William had several sons and I am not clear on which one was my grandfather's grandfather. The sons names were William, John, James and Patrick. Can you tell me why there are two surnames? I once read that they are one and the same name, but I do not understand why.
