Rasmussen vs Rasmussen

                             My great grandfather was a Rasmussen who married a Rasmussen making my grandfather's life confusing...at least to the Government.  When my grandfather joined the military they asked him what his mother's maiden name was and he said Rasmussen.  They said no, her maiden name son.  Again, he said Rasmussen......
