Marguerite: Thanks so much for the info. Since I am just starting on the Hauke line, it will take me a while to run down this info. If you have time and don't mind, will you please dig out the citation. Regards, Bob Wescoatt Marguerite Crist Calvin <cristcalvin@ohiohills.com> wrote: This may be of no value but ... I lived for 42 years in NW Ohio, where there were HAUCKS and HOUCKS. Imagine my surprise when researching families in Lycoming, Northumberland to find a connection to the families. I believe Fredericks and Kelly, if I remember correctly. I was friends with the Haucks, and believe someone had done work on the Hauck name. One was a doctor in California. I always suspected these Haucks may also have come from the same PA area. If its of interest I'll dig out the citation.
