identity Crisis

I am going to start recording vignettes of my mom and dad's life on this day 6/4/2017.
I believe my parents had a serious identity crisis!  their names for instance. Mom's name Esther, sufficed for seven years in Ioannina, Greece-her birthplace. Esther or Esthir (phonetically) Mosios is the name she knew. She was called Roula from Estheroula in Volos, Greece at 7 years of age.
My dad was a "traveling salesman". His name was Moisi (morris) Negrin, yet his customers knew him as Elias Hlias.

will elaborate on this often, begging your patience, with your permission, as I am on a quest to realize my own struggle for identity!
