Sharon, This is interesting and very intriguing! As soon as I have the time, I intend to go over both of your "Hof(f)bauer" lists and see if any of those connect in any way with the offspring of our Thomas Hoffpauer that I have in my database. I suspect that they are of a different family.... but am very curious about it. So I urge everyone to post anything they can find about any of these "Hoffbauers" so we can determine if they are from our family or not. We once had a Hoffbauer researcher join the Hoffpauir-L mail list, trying to determine if he (or maybe it was a lady) was connected to the Hoffpauirs. As best I recall, he concluded that he was not, and I believe he left the list. However, if he is still a member, here's a request for help on these Hoffbauers. I know there have been Hof(f)bauers who have emigrated to the U.S. since our Thomas arrived. I don't know of any way to determine if they are related to our man or not, since we need to determine exactly where he came from, and then who his relations were in the old country, and then work toward the time of the more recent emigrations.
