There are many documents with incorrect spelling for the Meyerhofer surname.
Meyerhoffer
Myerhofer
Myerhoffer
There are some documents with conflicting dates for identical events. Some documents contain incorrect information. In any case; throughout this book, notes explain correct or missing data, and footnotes explain the source of the data. It is always possible there are some unintentional errors. I expended a lot of energy and time to prevent errors. If in fact there are errors, I sincerely apologize.
I chose to start this book with Heinrich and Dorothea Meierhofer because they were the first Meyerhofer's to immigrate to the United States of America.
