My 11 year old son is doing a family history project at school and has written up the story of our family name. Each project also requires some art/visual component as well as the written work. If you ask me, this is more than sufficient for the entire project.
Although no family members ever used the name Isdale, there was a family business that used that name, which is what prompted the name change from Israel to Dale.

I hadn't realized that Dale was the same as Harvered. It was that generation of more polite, less East European, less in-your-face, more in-line-with-the-times, Jewish names. I mean, no need to go Marrano.
