I've always wondered if this family is Jewish in origin. I would not be surprised. Any findings/comments?

There is no reason to suppose this family is Jewish. All the names: Paul, Dirck, Hoff are typical Dutch names. Hoff (old spelling for Hof) is the Dutch word for court, in both the judicial and garden meaning. There are many people named Hof of Hoff in the Netherlands.
