I saw your recent response and have Hoefke ancestors from Chicago.My great-great grandmother was born Dorothea (Dora) Hoefke in Brandenburg before/about 1834, emigrated to USA before 1854 and was married to Frederick Korth.I don't know if the marriage was in Brandenburg or Chicago, but they lived in Chicago at the time my great-grandmother Elizabeth was born (1854)and Dora may have also had brothers who emigrated there. Do any of your Fred Hoefke ancestors match that profile?Legend has it that Hoefke boys served in the Civil War?I had no luck in finding the date that the Hoefke family or individuals came to America, but I know it was prior to 1854 and Chicago wasn't too big then.Anything you know would be helpful.
