Karl Friedrich Hoeft of Berlinchen, Kreis Neumark, Brandenberg, Prussia

Karl Friedrich Hoeft was born on June 17, 1833 according to his tombstone at the Rock Lily Cemetery in Winslow, Illinois.  His exact village of birth is not certain but is believed to be (at least by me) Berlinchen or Little Berlin.  The extant church records are rather slim.

Stefan Brunns has worked on compiling and indexing family names from the records. Karl Hoeft and his son, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Hoeft are listed here.  Though the relationship with the others is not clear, I believe that Christian Hoeft (*vor 1855) may be a brother to Karl Hoeft and uncle to Karl Wilhelm Friedrich  Hoeft.
