surname
I would like any info on the surname of Tottenhoff. The census records say Prussia. I also found Hanover mentioned.Census says birth abt 1830. I am wondering if my spelling is anglicized. Any help would be appreciated...thank you.

It must be from a place name. My money is on Tottenhof in Schleswig-Holstein, Schleswig-Flensburg "Kreis" (county? District?), but there may be others. Hof means "farm", Totten means ... (not a clue).
