I descend from John Hoffman and Maria Sabina Volck. I think it's fascinating that they came to Germanna and that Maria married the widow John.

It is vaguely coming back right now about it, but I was too involved in other things at the time I heard about it. I am trying to finish a BIG project for a patron right now. Hopefully, I can get back to Germanna work soon. I missed out on all the goings on re the Germanna second colony organization. The lists of folks look good. Just one surname I see that is missing--Volck. These were two female step-daughters of UTZ. I do not descend from any Wagenbachers, but have a very strong fondness for the Volck ladies who came to Germanna and are the mothers of the Weber and Hoffman children and thousands upon thousands of descendants. If the full truth be known, I doubt if one could scratch a Germanna descendant of either colony, and not find Volck blood flowing. I still don't grasp why these two ladies aren't really bragged about by at least the distaff side of Germanna. Smiling and everyone smile with me. It is good to make some contact again.
