Hello all,

I am hoping someone can shed light on a little mystery.
Several females in my Cromartie/Currie family have had the name,
variously spelled, of Lorrerhamah, Lourhuany, Lovehannah or Laurahannah.
Is this an old name that doesn't translate well into English? Any family
member who might be able to tell me is long gone.

If anyone can clue me in on the closest spelling and pronunciation, I
would be most grateful.

BTW these families ended up mainly in Mississippi and Louisiana.

Thanks,

Leta Currie-Marshall
