Yes hello,
This is James Matthew Hofflinger of the U.S.A. I actually live in Maryland close to Washington D.C. I have been looking forward to making contact with family from overseas my whole life. The story you have told sounds very similar to the one my grandmother Blanche Hofflinger used to tell me whom was married to my grandfather David Howard Hofflinger whom has passed away now in 1974 unfortunately.My grandmother has Dementia now also and has lost all or most all memory and is in her 90's now.But I know for a fact that we are from Austria and have lived in the US since before WW1 since my grandfather was in both.If I remember correctly actually in WW2 was going to meet some family in Germany but the US military would not allow any such visit unfortunately..As we all were very interested in finding our ancestors that we lost contact with..I have a long list of family with the Hofflinger last name and look forward to sharing all names and photos with you upon your response.I'm 1 of 3 children my brother Jon Hofflinger, Sister Amira Hofflinger, And myself James M. Hofflinger. Son of David Howard Hofflinger whom was raised in Barington New Jersey U.S.A. The 3 Photos are from my grandfather Hofflinger in the military uniforms and my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother Hofflinger all from New Jersey. My email@ is
