I am happy you wrote and will post my response to my error on the Peoria Co. website. I was working on two different surnames at the same time and transposed them. Thank you for bringing my attention to the error I made. I agree with you that there is a Henry Hoffner on page 45B, born May 1868 in Illinois. He is a carpenter. Both parents born in Germanyas you have stated. I apologize for any confusion I created.

Hi Sandie - I saw your response re the 1900 census for Henry Hoffner. Out of curiosity, I too, checked that Colorado census and am puzzled by what you found vs what I found. I found Henry on line 79 census page 45B - born Illinois 1868 - parents both born Germany. Occupation - carpenter 4 months unemployed Lyde
