I've been looking for abouy 3 yrs. for this info., and where did you find this? There was a (HECKERT) name to come into the family, and I can't find out how. My father was the son of Charles Hoecke, who married a Mary Elizabeth Shillo/Shillow. She was born inLancaster County 4/1898 with the birth name (KERCHOFF). The SHILLO family adopted her. unknown date. I loked up my father's birth inLancaster County and he was born a HECKERT, and all of a sudden he has the HOECKE name, when they came back to York, Pa. His name is Richard Franklin Hoecke, born 8/1922. There was ababy born named Elizabeth Heckert Marh 1925 and buried 6/1925. My father has a sister named Dorothy Hoecke,, so I don't know how the Heckert/Hoecke are connected. Thanks so much, and if you can find any more info. it would really help. Debbie Dne330@aol.com
Hi, Debbie: Regarding the Germany x 3: There are 3 columns on the census page--place of birth of this person/place of birth of father of this person/place of birth of mother of this person. So, if I noted "Germany x 3" all 3 columns had Germany noted. If I noted "PA/Germany x 2", then they were from PA and their parents were from Germany... I get my census information primarily from Heritage Quest Online. The Maryland Public Library system provides free access to those with a Maryland Public Library card. I'll send copies of the census pages. I'll do some more digging for you tomorrow and I'll let you know if I find anything. You're welcome.
