Yes, that's me, Fred Hoffman, or officially, William F. Hoffman. If you're curious about the books I've written and cowritten, and the publications I edit, you can read all the glorious details here: http://www.fredhoff.com/publications.htm You can usually contact me at wfh@langline.com. Or check this page on my Web site: http://www.fredhoff.com/contact.htm I have several e-mail addresses, and occasionally I experience problems with one or another, due to circumstances beyond my control. I try to make sure the address given on that Web page is always the most reliable one to use at any given moment. I'm really not posting this in an effort to get attention for myself or my Web site. One of the main reasons I set it up was so that people who had questions like yours could find the answers fairly easily. Make sure you've got the right Fred Hoffman, however. When I set up my Web site, I couldn't use www.fredhoffman.com because that domain was already spoken for -- by a physical fitness expert. He may bear the same name as I, but it's hard to imagine two more different people!! Fred Hoffman

Fred, I have your book on Polish surnames and have been looking for your book on Polish given names. I tried Amazon, Borders and Barnes and Noble with no success. Now you've given me the link to order that book and probably will order the maps packet and possibly others. Thank you for all the help you have given me. It is truly appreciated!
