I am searching for the Mackenroth family. My records show Adolph Mackenroth born in 1846 in Frankenburg Marburg son of Adam Mackenroth and Elizabeth Spender.
Was this area known under any name?

Hi Maree.
largest concentrations of the name MACKENROTH seem to be today in the towns of Kassel ( about 21 in 1998 )and Hamburg ( about 15 in 1998). In Hamburg you will find at the same time also 5 MACKENROTT with double T at the end. This variation of the name seems to be single for the region in and around Hamburg, it will be probably derived from the name with "TH". As there are only about 120 twenty different telephone entries for your researched name, it could be a good start for further research getting in contact with the Kassel or Hamburg MACKENROTH'S.
Good luck
