There was a lot of response from this list when I posted the Hoffpauirs from the CADI 1940 - 1995 and CAMI 1960-1985. I have found the CADI for the years 1905-1939. There were no Hoffpauirs listed in it at all !! (Oh where, Oh where is Nelson?) Remembering what Dr. George said about the original spelling of Hof(f)bauer, I looked under that and similar spellings. WELL!! I found several under both the single and double f variation. Here they are: State of California Dept. of Public Health Bureau of Vital Statistics California Death Index 1905-1929 HOFBAUER, Antone spouse init: none age: 61 Co. of death: 90 (San Francisco, City) date of death: Dec. 20, 1928 State #: 67702 HOFBAUER, Frank X. spouse init: FR age; 65 Co. of death: 70 (Los Angeles, City) date of death: Oct. 17, 1928 State #: 50365 HOFFBAUER, Lizzie I. spouse init: none age: 37 Co. of death: 60 (Alameda, City) date of death: Marach 29, 1906 State #: 5384 HOFFBAUER, Paul spouse init: none age: 35 Co. of death: 70 (Los Angeles, City) date of death: May 7, 1921 State #: 18642 HOFPER, S.
