Surname: HOFFMAN, SCHERB
-------------------------
Thanks for responding to my query. I did not know that the Hoffman family
were neighbors to George Scherb of Clay County, Indiana---who was the uncle
to my ancestor, George Leonard Scherb stayed there on/off for the first
year after immigrating. It must be there that he met his future wife, Anna
Barbara Hoffman. They married in Nunda Township, Freeborn County, Minnesota.
I recently was reviewing the church records from the Nunda Church, and
find there is another Hoffman from Clay County, Indiana listed. I find
a marriage in 1882 for a Conrad Hoffman who was born in Posey Twp., Clay
County, Indiana. I am presuming this to be a relative of Anna Barbara,
who probably accompanied her to Minnesota for her wedding. I find evidence
from children's baptisms that Conrad and family resided in the Twin Cities,
MN.
I have just started researching my Hoffman line, and don't have much information
on that family in Indiana. Appreciate any information you have.
