last name Honnoll
My grandfather's family name is Honnoll. His family came from the south in the Mississippi/Alabama area. I haven't been able to find any information on the orgin of this name. Our family has used it in the form of Honnell but this is only from my grandfather b/c when he joined the army they misspelled it. The original form is Honnoll. Just wondering if anyone had heard of it?

That would make sense as the first record we have of our family being in the States was a William Honnoll and he was born in Germany. Honnold is listed as dutch/german in orgin. Thank you!
