Hoffman can be spelt HOOFMAN, HUFFMAN Houghman etc. Here is what a cousin and I have gathered since 1994. Helen Durbin and I have worked this since Mildred Russell passed. I worked with Mildred for some time and was going to see her and she got a flu and died before I could get there. Helen greeted me at the airport when I arrived and the rest is history. Here is one of the many places we have put data for others to learn about the famkly its' married in kin. https://www.ourfamilyhistories.com/hsdurbin/ Read and enjoy we had to put the sources on another page we just kept growing. All here has been verified and sourced.

Time to Think of How We Think. 1st

HISTORY ISN'T THERE FOR YOU TO LIKE OR DISLIKE IT'S THERE FOR YOU TO LEARN FROM IT. IF IT OFFENDS YOU, THAT'S EVEN BETTER, BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE LESS LIKELY TO REPEAT IT. IT'S NOT YOURS TO ERASE OR DESTROY. As a History Buff and Genealogist I find this a very profound Statement to digest. Our world started so long long ago, we the people have wandered All over its surface. We as humans have made some great strides. We also have made some massive Blunders(?). DNA has given us a new toy. A toy to Wake Up ---- whom we are really. A tool to discovery we are all inter related. Our world is very very old We have gone through more than one major change. We are possiblily getting closer to another change. Change is good if we embrace it. Be aware of what is change and what is politics. How many have studied our World History Or Our World Weather? Then they make these decsisons for us to live by and why. Looking Forward To The Day Where we, here, in the USA say,"We Are Americans". We are of many descendants of very many places. But we are not Green, Gray, Pink and Purple. I am proud to be an American and I hope you are too. Color is not a nationality that is a sad misnomer. And feeling never should be used to describe we the people of the world. I loved that profound statement and decided to share. Susi

SPRING HAS SPRUNG, ARE YOU READY TO DIG???

HI ALL, It is getting time to dig spring style. Last Night I FOUND FILES from my MOM. They will replace many files I lost when my back up drive died while I was away from home. Was thrilled to see cousins data they sent her and she always did great work. Almost all data was sourced. That was double good news for me and ye. Do you have great plans for Research this Year? Did you do up a formula for working the name, place or situation? Recently learned many are attacking their data in a different way. I thought I might try it with some of the more confused family information that is muddled. The biggest thing I have learned over the years is the more you speak to and share the sooner you have chance of finding answers. Some times you just stumble over it with out even realizing it. Think Spring and Get Started. We are all due more winter weather so Stay in and dig dig dig.

February is about to close Again. Spring is about to Spring!

February is about to close and Spring is about to SPRING! Are you ready for the changes? You may have less time for genealogy or More. Winter for many mneans more time indoors seeking answers to the clues we hold. So so wish others held the other half of some of my clues. Great Uncle Claude Foulk had a book done on his ancestry. Alas he did not like what it told him. Great Aunt told me he fumed and fumed and was truly upset and tore the book up. Saying the book could not be true. Alas he had not listened to his MOM or he may have felt different. She was whom clued me into the comments that upset him. At one time, all of my Dad's siblings had a paper written by Great Grandma about her family tree. I seen my Aunt Bethel's and Dad said he had one also at one time. Fear his went when home nearly burned and house was emptied. Did not see Uncle's when home emptied but he moved many many times via service USN. Uncle's neice may have gotten his for she was doing research. Ironic when I was digging I had forgotten about that story, Aunt Bethel could recall and tell it well. Having asked her children if they have the letter by Margaret Mae Eastman Foulk? So far a negative answer has responded. Fortunately she stayed with us several times over the years and so I heard it often when we talkd about family and filled in many blanks. No idea why I never asked her about her husband. I loved him dearly and yet I know very little about his family tree. What I was told is not what is needed to build his tree. He was in the USArmy during WW2 as was his brother in law Joe Collins USArmy and his brother in law of his sister Gerald Oliver Jones. Back to story GUncle Claude burnt the book in the fireplace it was over 200 pages Auntie told me. The topic that upset him was learning he had Indian heritage. Documented. No idea if another copy is anywhere or who the well known Researcher was that did the book. He woudl not divulge that data. That is the Indian I forgot to look for. Now that I think I have found him I no longer have the other information. Alas. Yes I forgave him and we had a long chat about our heritage since we also had some German and other lineages in our tree. So we can not decide for them who lived it, verses our some times twisted thoughts. Grandma taught me and other members of family many things she was trained to know. Plants to use, when to do various planting, what plants grew when and why and what used for. Medicines & food and to make clothing. SusiCP1@gmail.com
