Duff and Doff
Hi there,

I'm completely new to this forum. For a while I'm wrestling with a question about my name. My surname is Doff and I'm from Holland.I'm wondering if there's anyone who knows something about Duff's who went to Holland in the 16th century as soldiers of the Scottish Brigade. I know about a few Duff's / Doff's who went there for example: Daniel Duf, Jan Duff (soldier under col. Buccleugh, married Lijsbet Crijnen, Joris Duff (writer of this company), Olyvier Doff who married Anneken Bartels in Arnhem, Jan Doff (also my name, who married Jenne Hinderson), Thomas Dof (soldier under capt. Rijswijck and married Trijntje Hermans). The last member of my familietree i know of is Connelis Freriks Doff (1665) who married Fenne Jacobs.
Does anyone know something about a Dutch familyline (if there is one). I hope to hear from someone. I'm quite sure that there is a connection between Duff and Doff but I haven't find the scientific proof yet. WHo helps?

Here`s a database which may be of help. I am not sure how much information they have on Holland though.
