Johann Daniel Hoeft and Wilhelmine Roloff Hoeft are potential parents for my great-great grandfather Karl Friedrich Hoeft. In a previous post I talked about Karl being associated with Berlinchen. Johann and Wilhelmine are also referenced in the same records. Johann was born about 1799 and was listed as a laborer in Berlinchen in 1870 and he was also referenced as an Ortsarmer, a designation for the poor and jobless. He died 26 March 1876 in Berlinchen. Wilhelmine was born about 1803. Wilhelmine died April 11, 1870 in Berlinchen. Berlinchen Book Records
From FamilySearch.org returned records of two daughters of Johann and Wilhelmine who both died young. Hanne Luise was born 6 December 1839 in Doelitz. She died 24 March 1840 in Doelitz. Dorothea Sophia Hoeft was born 2 August 1841. She died 14 November 1843 in Petznick.
So the family group looks something like this so far:
Johann Daniel Hoeft + Wilhelmine Roloff
1. Karl Friedrich Hoeft
2. Christian Friedrich Hoeft
3. Hanne Luise Hoeft
4. Johann Friedrich Hoeft
5. Dorothea Sophia Hoeft.
The two daughters names were unknown to me and according to the parish records they both died as children.
The connection to Christian Hoeft of Watertown, Wisconsin remains a question. Someone in my Hoeft family received a wedding invitation to Maria Hoeft's wedding to John Trescher. Her parents were Christian and Albertine Manthey Hoeft. According to the Berlinchen records another Christian Hoeft was married to Wilhelmine Rohde and lists his parents has Johann Daniel Hoeft and Wilhelmine Hoeft. So this Christian married to Wilhelmine could be my great-great grandfather's brother and the other Christian could be a cousin. The records on this side of the ocean have not yielded the parent's names for Christian Hoeft of Watertown.
