Children sired by an Ancestor -- Randy suggests.

Henry Hoffman/Huffman had 14 that I have proven, with his wife Elizabeth Higgins.
Henry was born 29 Oct 1803 in Greene Co. PA. dcd 15 Sept. 1879
Elizabeth born 16 May 1809 Greene Co. PA   dcd 3 Feb 1877, Aleppo, Greene Co. PA

Buried Windy Gap Cemetery.  I have been there with some cousins.

Genealogy started helping MOM when I was able to write and in earnest by 12 when had to write kin at least 2 times a month. (We had moved away from family due to the War 11).  69 years.

Collaborating is what helped to fill in the blanks. Mom's having us write letters helped. Visiting our family in the home state helped. Their parents staying in contact with their families in Iowa helped.
Dad lost track of his Dad at 10 but we found him in 1953/4. Had lots of catching up to do and still doing it for his Dad's brothers and 1 sister.


 Not having hired a specialist but have picked their brains for ideas and suggestions, which were appreciated.  I have purchased Deeds, Wills, and other documents.  We inherited some great data from the Hoffman line. 1 item from the Jones line. Pictures from the Foulk/Folk line,  Hoffman gave us photo album and Currier and Ives Documents.  Henry was very proud of his family and kept great records.

Family heirlooms are slowly being dispersed to various family members that show interest in an item or pictures. I started with our children then approached grandchildren.  Some have asked me to hold until they have their own place.  They are marked with their names on them.
