According to a map I printed from an "outline of the German town of 1789" Hoffman is listed on # 1 & 2. I'm going on the trip to Germany with the Germanna group. I would love to know the town where my Hoffman's came from. (I'm going to just adopt one of the Hoffman's if I don't find the exact Hoffman ^..^) My ancestor was David Hoffman b. 1746/1749. His father might have been Jürg and Margaretha Hoffman. I found the infomation in St Michaels Luthern Church in Germantown baptismal records. Phil. Co. Births PA I also have a newspaper article showing Johannes Hoffman g.g.grandfather of John P. Hoffman. His children (I can't figure out if this means his children meaning Johannes or John P.) are as follows Johannes, Elizabeth, Maria, catherine, Conrad, Barbara, Michael, Jacob and David who was b. on the sea while the family was making the trip to America. Just wondering if there is anybody out there who could shed any light on this infomation??? Harriet HOFFMAN Toothman
