Ghyll, One of the surnames I am researching is LUELOFF. Sometimes the old script is difficult to decipher, I wonder if we may be searching for information on the same name. After seeing your post I will include Lueloss in my searchings and let you know if I find any connection. After coming to America, my Lueloff's changed the spelling to Lulloff. Gretchen Lulloff > My great great great grandparents were Georg Friedrich von Coeverden and Grietje (nee Lueloss). In 1812 my great great grandfather Georg von Coeverden was born in Leer, Germany. He married and settled in Bremen. Does anyone know where they came from and do they have any descendants besides me? > Hopefully,Ghyll
