I really think that I might be too. The info that I have is sketchy on the Iowa end, but Buffalo Bill Cody used to call my great-great- grandfather "cousin" according to the genealogy that I found on a FTM. My grandfather has always claimed that he is native american..that some grandfather of his..no one he personally knew, went out west and married a squaw. My great great grandfather was Joseph Llewellyn Hoffman. b. April 30, 1867. It is said that he was born in Bucks County, hence my search here, however, the whole squaw story and the Buffalo Bill thing lead me to Iowa. What do you think...Joseph Hoffman is a very prominent name in my family. My great-great grandfather, Joseph L. is said to be the son of Joseph Hoffman (b. circa. 1845) and his wife Sarah Wilder. They had Joseph L. who also had Joseph Stanley Hoffman. He had a son Joseph also and my grandfather (Gordon Hoffman) named his son Joseph. My father never had any sons, so the line ends there. I would like! to investigate into Iowa a little deeper. It seems like a good lead.

My email to raspberry5@webtv.net failed. I replied to the comments about Hoffman--Bucks Co. and Buffalo Bill Cody. I have some data that I believe this person would be interested in. Joyce
