I have been looking for the Hoff family for a long time and was not sure how to find which area they came from, although I suspected Oppland. I tend to limp along through all of this, so it is very helpful when someone comes along that is much more adept than myself. I am thrilled about your post. Thanks again!!

I added the * for my own clarification. CHRISTIAN C. HOFF (GULBRANDSDALEN) Died, Thursday evening, May 27, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elmer Back, Christian C. Hoff answered the final call after a lingering illness with cancer of the stomach, aged 62 years, 2 months, 24 days. Christian Hoff was born in Gulbrandsdalen, Norway, where he spent his earlier years and came to America when a young man. For some years he worked near LaCrosse where he married and then came to Trempealeau county where he purchased a farm in the Town of Chimney Rock on which he made his home until death called him. Mr. Hoff had been in failing health for a year or more and last November his suffering became so intense he was obliged to give up work. An examination found the trouble to be cancer of the stomach of too long a growth to allow an operation. May 22 he was brought to his daughter's home near the village as he wished to attend church services the following day and remained there until the end. His wife preceded him to the Great Beyond several years ago, also on! e daughter, Mrs. Anna Taplin(*b.31de1881mLeroy05ja1904tremp). Eight children, Fred, Albert, Oscar, Clarence, Mrs. James Back(*=clara17no1902tremp), Mrs. Elmer Back, Mrs. Myron Wisand and Miss Tillie Hoff, are left to mourn the loss of a loving father. The funeral was held Monday from the Lutheran church in the village Rev. Urberg of Blair officiating, and the remains were interred in the Lutheran cemetery south of the village. The large concourse of friends who attended the last service showed the esteem in which he was held by those with whom he resided. Reprinted from the Independence News THE WHITEHALL TIMES AND BLAIR BANNER - JUNE 10, 1915 Google says Gudbrandsdalen is a valley in Oppland Norway, so I found the following.

What a marvelous site. I find that after 84 years I can still remember what streets are in the north or southside in the directories.
