Hello
I was wondering if that book you have on the Hormell's has anything in it about the Hormel name spelled with one L.I am tracing the line the George Albert Hormel who is the son of John George Hormel and grandson of Christian Hormel and Elizabeth Heiser of Schwabach, Hesse, Germany which is somewhere near Frankfurt on the Main.I have John George Christening information and George's and his siblings but nothing on Christian.Christian brought his family to America in 1833 when John George was 3 years old.They settled in Buffalo New York and John George later moved to Toledo, Ohio.George was a traveling salesman and happened to have Austin, Minnesota on his route, fell in love with the town and started a meat packing business there.If you have any information I would really love to hear from you.
