Connie, From which of the Van Hoose lines do you descend from? I descend from Jan Fransse Van Hoesen (Van Husum) through his son, Johannes. Then from Johannes down through his son, Johannes, and then through his daughter, Elizabeth Van Hooser who married Johannes "John" Hagler. If you e-mail me directly, I can give you quite a lot of info on the family, as I have a book published in 1993, and written by Joyce Lindstrom. The book is about 800 pages in length and has a fair amount off historical information on the very first of our generations of the family. Look forward to hearing from you, Sharon Hagler > -----Original Message----- > From: CAnder6241@aol.com [mailto:CAnder6241@aol.com] > Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 3:56 PM > To: SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [S-H-RTS] Vanhoesen/Vanhoose Family > > My family originated (as far back as anyone can go) to Franz Jan > Vanhoesen...... > I guess my question is....does anyone have any info on that particular family. > They came to the states and have quite a few variations of the name....mine > being Vanhoose.
