Surnames: Hoffman/Huffman/Neher/Near/Ransier/
Am interested in sharing/exchanging with others researching Hoffman/Huffman family in Welland County. Specifics: Nicholas & Abigail Hoffman, Mary (Hoffman) & Henry Near, Jacob Hoffman & Anna Ransier, Nicholas Jr. and Michael Hoffman & Elizabeth Ransier - all to Bertie c. 1784. Jacob & Nicholas Jr. were loyalists.

I have Frashuer's book,"Our Canadian Nears and Early Kin".
I am researching George Near b, 1817 abt and died in Ionia Co. MI in 1908.
There were many Nears in the Welland, Bertie area who were Loyalist. I had thought that George's father was Henry Near who died in Ancaster. Now I am not sure, The above mentioned Henry's wife was Elizabeth Near, his cousin.
Henry and Eliz. were buried in Ancaster.
Hope to hear from you.

Hi Vanessa
This is wild. I found an old message of yours, floating around on the net at Rootsweb, since 2002. At that time, I corresponded with you, and we both figured that we were not related. What a Hoot. I think the problem was that my grandfather, Emanuel, didn't have his birth recorded, until quite late in his life. Melissa Plato, his sister, registered him, Dec 1, 1939. Well, procrastination is one of my regrettable habits. I didn't think it ran in the family, though.

Your Cousin, Fran

Surnames: Hoffman, Adams
I have a Catherine Hoffman / Huffman that married Dexter Adams abt. 1817. She was born abt. 1796 and died abt. 1841.
They were in Bertie in 1828 and Later St. Ann's, ONT.
Haven't been able to discover her parents. Dexter Adams was born in Massachusetts in 1794 but, I believe Catherine was born in Canada.
Any help appreciated
Thank you.

Hello Jim Unfortunately, I cannot find either Catherine or Dexter in my files. I have been researching Huffmans and others for many years and I am still finding relatives. Ancestry is a great information pool. Happy Hunting Best of Luck Fran Dew
