since sonmeone asked.... Here's a family that I don't really have a lot of information on. I know the Hoffpauirs and the Istres have had earlier connections, and I'm wondering if the Istre line that ties into this family is also descended from an earlier Hoffpauir-Istre connection? Does anyone happen to know who the parents of the Harris J. Istre that married Ella Hoffpauir were? For that matter, does anyone have any more information about ANY members of this family?
