My grandfather, Alfred Ernst Sauer, married Emma Ida Hofer, daughter of Jacob Andreas Hofer, who is a descendant of the Andreas Hofer who defeated Hannibal in the Alps. Would love to connect with other Hofer / Sauer family.

Hello all,

I am beginning to look up my family tree on my father's side. His mother's maiden name is Hofer. She had many siblings and lived in Illinois and Indiana areas. Her birth mother was Mertie Hofer and birth father was Henry Hofer. I know that the two of them split up and went their seperate ways after they had many children.

Thanks!!

Hi! Good day! I am Kathleen Hofer, from Philippines. Our great grandfather, John Hofer came to the Philippines & married to a Filipina. My grandfather's name is Hans Hofer married to Virginia Sabert. Vincent Hofer is their eldest son which is my father. We're very much interested to know who are our ancestors. I hope through this page, we will know more about Hofer family. Kathleen :-)

I am surprised how many Hofers are in the U.S. It is a nice feeling. I just have not researched my family history well enough to make a statement on it one way or another.
Perhaps I should research it more one day when I have more time available.
Greetings, Otto Hofer

We too have Hofers in our ancestry. Great Grandmother was Elise Marie,(from Plainpalais, Switzerland), g-g-grandfather was Urs Hofer. No idea of their origin.

My father Norman Foster directed the Davy Crocketts and Zorros for Disney and amassed books on Andreas Hofer - for a film he never made.

He was born Norman Hoeffer in 1903 and was certain he was related.

My husband's family patriarch was Xaver Hofer (1848-1936) from Stutgart, Germany. His wife was Josefine Schneider (not Dietrich, I misspoke), 1850 - 1902). Their sons immigrated to Chicago. Does anyone have any information on this family?

My husband's mother is a Hofer from Chicago, and her parents were from Stutgart, Germany. The partriarch's name was Xaver Hofer, who was married to Josephine Dietrich. Does anyone have any information on him?

An entire Hofer family probably moved into Imperial Valley (County) and South San Diego (County), California, USA, as dairymen in the early 1930's (I am not sure of the date). There are still Hofer's living in these areas of the US...

Not sure if they are still dairy farmers....but you might look at Census information to see if you can find your connection. They are Swiss, not German. I seem to remember the family Patriach was a Julius Hofer, but I could be wrong. Good luck.

Greetings,

I just found this page and note that Engelbert Hofer is the youngest sibling of my great, great grandmother's second husband, Nikolaus Hofer.

While doing my Bogner genealogy I have traced a lot of the Hofer family just to make sure that my contacts with a Charles Hofer, Colfax, WA are correct.
