For now, I will thank everyone who responded to my inquiry re George HOFFMAN. What a helpful group of folks. Over time, I will respond individually and answer any questions that have been asked. Meanwhile, thanks to one and all. Your time and help are appreciated. Mary Fran P.S. For general information some of George HOFFMAN's kin and ancestors were DIEGELMAN, KINTZ, PACK OR PECK and a number of those older folks were born in Germany. I do have the specific parts of Germany if anyone is interested. Thanks again. All this is from research of our two late nephews and my late sister-in-law.
