My family name is HOHL -- the obvious phonetic spelling would be Hole, and records are just about even with both spellings, and not hard to sort out. However we have documented as many as 14 different spellings, including Howell, Holl and Hull - - - - go figure! Then there was Hohl's in-laws named Saufried - - - which is also Seyfried, Seyfrit, Seifert, Sifrit, ad infinitum. Anyone researching these names? Dori
