Hi, Debbie: I'm having some trouble locating the Charles Hoecke. What are his birth/death dates? Just in case a census taker misspelled the surname, how is it pronounced? Hoke, Hake, Hook, Heck...? I found an Emma Kerchoff in 1900 PA; I'll send you the page. I don't know if she's part of your line or not. I also found a James Kerchoff & family in 1900 PA; they have an adopted daughter named Florence. I'll send that one, too. I found 8 Shillow families in Lancaster PA 1900, but none with a daughter named Mary or Elizabeth who was born close to 1898. Heritage Quest Online does not have 1930 PA indexed yet... I'll send the 2 Kerchoff pages separately. Debra On Wednesday, Mar 31, 2004, at 21:10 US/Eastern, DnE330@aol.com wrote: > yes, these are my people.
