do you think that might be rosina hoff?
in what year was she born?

Looking for any info on Henry B. HOF

knd3krp — 2010-09-28 00:36:18Z

Looking for any information on Henry B. Hof. What I do know is that he was born in Germany in 1832 and immigrated to New York. I don't have a death date for him, I'm looking for his parents so I can continue his line. I know they were both born in Germany. He was married to Catharine Otis who was born in New York in 1835 and died in 1916. Both her parents were also born in Germany. Looking for any information on her as well. I have the names of all their children. I would be interested in any information on either one of them. Thanks.

Re: Joseph Hof born 1865

morys_1 — 2009-10-10 21:06:04Z

Joseph Hof was born in Peoria, Ill. His brother was John William Hof born about 1863, although 1865 in other places. I believe John was the elder brother. Their father was Joseph William Hof, not born in New York but in Bayern, Germany in 1819, I believe. There is an 1880 census record for Joseph Hof, age 61, born 1819, widower, born in Bavaria with one son Joseph age 15. My ancestor is John William Hof.

Re: Hof/Hoff

wolfihof — 2009-08-11 12:39:33Z

Hello Kelly,

Hof is a Familyname from Switzerland. The place this familyname comes from is called "Zwingen", there were also a few in a little village called "Laufen". The family history says, that when Hofs imigrated to USA they started to write their name with 2 Fs.

During the second world war nearly half of these 2 villages immigrated to USA (or some to Canada).

They were not all of the same family tree though... ;o)

cheers

I just confirmed that there is a Lydia L Hickman Hof in our family that married Joseph Hof and had 7 kids, one of whom was my great grand father, John Willis Hof. He had 6 kids( I dont know his wife's name... ) one of whom was David Hof SR, my grandpa.

Re: Joseph Hof born 1865

dhof1 — 2009-03-16 19:41:05Z

My great-great grandpa was a Joseph Hof who married a Lydia(dont know the maiden name) and had a son named John Willis Hof(born in MN). We assumed/heard that Joseph came over from Germany but we arent totally sure. Not sure when or where he was born but 1865 sounds about right.
Do you know anymore about Joseph Hof?

Francis, Mary or Conrad Hof

Friedrich Hof Maria Anna Keller had Franziska Hof-lived in Bobenthal, Bavaria, Germany-Alsace area

lookingforlink — 2004-02-03 20:52:29Z

I just received this information from someone that does research in the Bavaria area. The church in the next town had this information on my family and Hof was included in it which I never knew.

I don't know if any of them came over to the US but they are in a town just north of Wissembourg.

Does this family, from the Rhine area, sound familiar to anyone.

Franziska eventually married a Michael Burkhard in 1858 and had a son Michael Burkhard. Her son came to the US.

Thanks.

Our family came from Germany, Bavaria, in the mid 1800's. I think 1850. Jacob Hof had three sons. George Franklin Hoff (Sr.) Willaim Hoff, and Ed Hoff. GF Hoff Sr. is my grandfather, and moved from Greenville OH to Lake City, Colo, then San Diego Ca. where my father, GF Hoff, Jr. was born. Have been trying to find the bridge to Germany. Jacob Von Hof married Mary Teboe. I hope this jives with some of your information.

clange9591 — 2002-03-23 22:32:56Z

Yes, I would like to keep in touch. In trying to search for my family, I have purchased some information on Germany, how to find information,etc. Friedrichshofen was in Ingo "Landerkreis" or New County, in Oberbayern, Bavaria (Southern Bavaria) In reading German history, Bavaria was taken over and became part of Germany in 1850 or so. My family fled, because the Prussian King was sweeping Northern Bavaria and massacuring entire villages, to prove the point that they did not want the people to have a say in government, as was the case in Bavaria. If you need information on where to get birth information, let me know.

Chris.

Are any of your Hof's from Iowa? I'm searching that area for ggrandparents. Ggrandfather is thought to be Abraham Hof. His daugher, Marie Barbara, was my grandmother.

Hof in Iowa

bernidonnelly — 2001-08-12 01:50:34Z

Does anyone have information about a Hof that settled in NE Iowa. Looking for my grandmother's family. She was born Marie Barbara in 1877. I don't know where she was born, but the family originated in Alsace Lorraine. There were two sets of children - most of the first set of children died during a flu epidemic. She had a sister, Sarah, but I don't know the names of the other syblings. She married an Albert (A.B.) Schmitz in about 1900. There were many Methodist Episcopal ministers in the family. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This was a large family with many children, half of them died during a diptheria epidemic. My grandmother was Marie Barbara Hoff. She married Albert A. Schmitz. Any help would be appreciated. I don't seem to be able to find any information on this family.

Do you have any data on ones who came from Europe that early?

Are they from the Alsace area or you don't know. It's so hard when you run into roadblocks.

Do you know what church they were in when they were living? This may help. Sometimes names and town come up when someone is married. Also, check the cemeteries if you have that info.

Imagine my shock at finding a relative. There is only one known DeOrdio family that I know of and it started in Norristown PA. I would love to know which one of my many cousins you are. I am the daughter of the late John and Carolyn DeOrdio who lived in Syracuse New York. The brothers George, Joe and John all move to work at Carrier corp. I found your name because I am still searching for more imformation on the DeOrdios. I doubt I could be of much help in your current search but let me know who your parents-grandparents are and I will see if anyone knows anything. Is this a very private matter. I mean is this something your parents are aware of. I wouldn't want to step on any toes. fond regards C
