I have noticed recent "HOFFMAN" activity on Wiki Genealohy Feed. Could a link exist to Hoffman Beverages? Does anyone remember "Hoffman Ginger Ale"?
If anyone can trace their ancestry to this company,
I have an ancestor, Katherine HOFFMANN, spouse of
George LAUTERBACH of Jersey City, NJ and Bronx, NY.
It has been said that Katherine was related to the
founders of Hoffman Beverages. I have no b/m/d dates
for George or Katherine, but their daughter, Elizabeth
(Lizzie) was born 1883 and married Martin RUCKMAN 1902.
Martin died 1930 in North Brunswick, NJ and Elizabeth died 1955 in the Bronx.
Katherine was born in Manhattan, her parents were from Aschaffenberg, Germany.
