The biography for William Hosking is empty. What can you add?
What I don,t know is where my Great Grandfather was from in Cornwall, England. He came to this country under the name of William Hoskins. His sons and daughters changed their surname to Hosking. He was born in 1833 in Cornwall and came to the U>S> around 1845 with his widowed mother and headed to Wisconsin, Iowa county.. I don't know what happened to her.

We all have brick walls, and that makes genealogy interesting. Thought I would send along some helpful hints] Our goal is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so please make sure to look for Duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. DOB, DOD, and locations attached to every person helps all as well. If you reach an ancestor that is present on WikiTree, contact the PM via Trusted List access.
