Are we related? I've lost touch with other branches of the Hoffman clan. My great-great grandfather Christian Hoffman (married Catherine Wick) came from Darmstadt, Germany some time in the 1850s. He had four children: Elizabeth, William, Jacob, and Philip.
Some time ago I heard from a descendant of Philip named Lillian M. Hoffman. Lillian, if you're still out there (or if any of her relatives are out there) I sure would like to hear from you.
Descendants of Jacob include Travis, Dolores, Virginia Mary, and James Steven. I haven't seen anyone from this branch since I was a teenager. I know they are out there somewhere.
Descendants of William include Howard and Elizabeth Ann. Drop me a line, guys, we're pretty close cousins.
