Reading the mail regarding such spelling of names, my husband's family were
always saying that their MEYER family used the term MEYER VON HACKENBURG
(sp)........I believe that this usage of 'VON' relates to 'FROM', is there
a town or village called Hackenburg somewhere within the King. of Hannover?

Dear Jenny Myers,
we got a "57627 Hachenburg", which belongs today to a neighbourhood Bundesland ,
but could in former times, as it is situated very nearby - about 40 km - to
the border to Niedersachsen, belong to the K�nigreich Hannover. That can be
proofed by Lexika, which are in the greater University library available. A
second possibility is the place "31188 Hackenstedt", which belongs to Holle bei
Hildesheim and that is in the former Kingdom of Hannover. An English speaker
prononciating the name of "Hachenburg" would express it harder on "-h-", so that
it will sound as a "-k-".
At last there is a "Hackenberg, Post Hauzendorf = 93170 Bernhardswald", but that
is in the Oberpfalz, mostly on the way to Bavaria.

Dear Jenny Myers,
i have to apologize for my English. Please change in my answer the word
"proofed" by "checked out". Hans Peter Albers
