Hello! When I lived in Oshkosh Wisconsin in the late 40's and early 50's my boss talked of a Billy Hoeft who was a baseball player. If I recall correctly, he was born or lived near Oshkosh, Wi.
My Hoeft family was Christian Frederick and Augusta (Hagen) Hoeftborn about 1820 and 1830. Immigrated in 1884. Settled in Tigerton, Wi.

Hello!
I am the great grandaughter of Christian Frederick Hoeft born in Beyersdorf, Germany in 1820, son of Martin and Dorothea Sophia (Fritz) Hoeft. I believe he had a brother Carl and perhaps Christoph, His 2nd wife was Augusta Hagen from Jardickendorf daughter of Christopher and Mary Hagen. His first wife was Justine Maasch? - He had a son Carl born
1852 at Sachow and a son Fred by his first wife Justine.
Carl came to America about 1882. His sons August and Julius came in 1881, He had a daughter Augusta who died in Germay. His daughter Emilie and son Herman came in 1883, Christian and Augusta came in 1884 with Ernst, (my grandfather) Ernestine and Frank. They settled in Tigerton Wisconsin where his son August was living. His daughter Marie and her husband Herman Hein came with their daughters in 1890.
Christian and Augusta are buried in Tigerton, Wi. His nickname was Fred or Fritz and he was very good treating animal maladies.
They came over on the Nurnberg.
I have a little more information. my e-mail is lovesaddlebreds@hotmail.com
Thank you, Elaine (Hoeft) Simon

My great granddad was born in Preussia, His name was Herman Gottlick Hoeft.In our Bible they have him born in Great Silver Gremany. I found out there was a name change. My granddad was Henry August Hoeft.He grew up in Iowa. Could we be from the same family?

Correction on the post I just made. I meant to say there could have been A william Frederick Hoeft that Billy Hoeft was named after, and that Williame could have been related to my ancestors.

I believe Billy Hoeft - they pronounced it "heft" was from Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
I lived there in the early 1950's and remember people talking about him. As my maiden name was Hoeft "oe" sounding like "a"
My Great grandfather was Christin Frederick Hoeft from Beyersdorf, Prussia. His son, my grandfather was bown at Strelno, Prussia. They came to USA in 1882 to 85. They did not come all at the same time.
Christian's brother August who married Ida Rebein came about 1881.
William Frederick could have been a relative.
Sorry I can't be of more help. Elaine Simon (nee Hoeft

I will try to send you the PDF file to your email address in the system. It wont let me attach it here. The other information I have about my gggrandmother I won't post that on here and could share directly with you but, what I have already mentioned is about all the significant data there is. I know that she came on a ship called the Gellert and the confusing part is that there were two ships of that name in the same general period of time. Also, the brothers were already in Chicago when she left Germany. I did find a couple of records for a Rudolph "Heft" that might be the other brother. If you have a subscription to Ancestry.com you can access a few census documents on Adolph. I think that the spelling Heoft is correct because on my great grandfather's death record, someone had noted his mother was Charlotte "Hefft" (as it would sound with "eo" in german) which after some research I ended up with the corrected "Heoft". This family ended up in Lemars, Iowa and their decendents eventually up to South Dakota, where I am.

Is it possible for you to send me the documents that you have with Adolph and Theresa on them? So your gg grandmother was Adolph's sister? I had never seen the alternate spelling Heoft.

Re: Adolph Rudolph Hoeft

mjm955 — 2009-04-14 04:26:45Z

Adolph Heoft was a Saloon Keeper in Chicago in 1875 and located at 620 Milwaukee Ave. (Note last name spelling) My Great Great Grandmother, Charlotte "Minnie" Heoft, came to Chicago in 1865 with the Gronow family as it was reported and the record I had said she had two brothers living there, Adolph and Rudolph. Tonight I found (on Ancestry) an application for citizenship for Adoph Heoft, signed by he and his wife, Theresa in 1889. I think this is your man. He was born Jan 4, 1838 in Zawitz or Zewitz, Germany. This is most of what I have on the family but there was a record I found on LDS website that suggested the parents may be Karl Hoeft,Heoft and Tugendreich Krause but not sure of the accuracy.

Adolph Heoft was a Saloon keeper in Chicago in 1875 and was located at 620 Milwaukee Ave. (Note the different last name spelling.) I have a record on my Great Great Grandmother, Charlotte "Minnie" Heoft, that states she came to Chicago in 1865 from Zawitz, Germany with the Gronow family and that she had two brothers living in Chicago, Adolph and Rudolph. Thats all I have on the family but tonight I located Adolph Heoft, b 1838 in Zewitz, Germany (again note spelling of the city) and found records of his application for citizenship on 6/24/1889. (all of this is on Ancestry). I think we are related here and I have been trying to get farther back on this family without much success. I have something, somewhere in my reseach that suggests that their father was Karl Hoeft,Heoft and the mother possibly Tugendriech Krause, but I am not sure of this and found it on the LDS website. The documents I found have the signatures of both Adolph and Theresa Heoft

KelleyAlwood — 2009-01-23 00:25:45Z

I am looking for information on my great great grandfather Adolph Rudolph Hoeft (1838-1894) and his ancesters. I know that Adolph was born in Prussia and immigrated to Chicago. He married Theresa Shipplock in 1918 and had possibly 9 children with her including: Annie, Theresa Annette (married Thomas Jackson), Bertha Elfreda, Ida/Eda (Married Walter Moore), Elsbeth (married Verner Kreuter), Marie Louise (married Edward Badenoch), Adolph Rudolph (married Selma Menzel) and Adeline.

Please let me know if you have any information that could help me. Thanks!

Hoeft ancestry

2006-09-06 17:00:43Z

I am the grandaughter of Ernst Hoeft born De. 20, 1870 who married Ida Laars in 1894. She was born Dec. 13, 1873.
Ernst was born in Strelno, Posen. His brother Frank and sister Ernestine were born there also. He had one half brother Carl born ast Sachow. (He was son of Christian and Justine Maash. Marie, Augusta were born there too but Christian had remarried after Justine died to Augusta Hagen born 3/3/1854 at Jardickendorf. She was the daughter of Christopher and Mary Hagen. . They must have moved to Neuendorf when Julius was born in 1861 and to Roerchen in 1863 where August, Emilie and Herman were born.
Christian was the son of Martin and Dorothea (nee Fritz) born at Beyersdorf.

We think Martin had a brother Carl and possibly a Christoph and Frederick. Does anyone have any Hoeft or Hoft ancestors from those areas? Christian came over in 1883 with the three youngest. The others came in 1882, 1881, 1883 and 1890. My e-mail address is lovesaddlebreds@hotmail.com.
