Surnames: Hoffman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5k.2ADE/460.461.1 Message Board Post: I have a Nicholas Hoffman who was born in Luxembourg, don't know when. He and his wife, also from Luxembourg, had two children that I know of - Margaret and Gertie. Margaret was born in Dubuque, IA, on Sept 25, 1854. Do you think this is the same Nicholas Hoffman?
