Two-part last names

[Lisabeth G Dashman lisa.dashman@verizon.net]

X-No-archive: yes
Hello, Genners,

I have ancestors from what is now Lithuania with the last name DRUKER LASKIN. I
kindly ask for an explanation about why there are such compound
last names and what significance (if any) they have.

Thanks in advance!
