ArchivesAdlof?
Hi, guys. I've just encountered (the name, not its owner) Adlof Johan Vogel. Clearly of German descent, though many Afrikaans-speaking South Africans enjoy using German or French names to match their ancestral surnames.
So, do you think that Adlof is a typo, or could someone perhaps have tried to make Adolf less alarming by switching some letters around? Anyone ever seen anything like it?
All the best

There is an old Monty Pythons skit about a certain Mr "Hilter," who attempts to run for office in the UK. His policies include, among others, the building of "Boncentration Bamps."

A Google sarch yields some evidence of Adlof as a surname:
