Hi Helen:
I don't know how the name TEICHMILLER would have been
pronounced here in the US. I grew up in Iowa which has
a lot of immigrants, including my grandfather, from the
Hanover area. I know of a number of times, the T has
been dropped from the names. This seems to be true of
German names starting with Ts.
On the other hand some of the immigrants were very
particular and even kept the umlauts, however it was
difficult to do so in a new country that translated
names phonetically.
Just a thought
