Hi, sharon,
Fascinating about the movie with the tombstone of the German Jewish Hofmann! What movie was that, please??
Your last sentence, "i assumed he was german" referred to your step grandfather Karl Hofmann, right?

http://www.familyhistory.com/rd.asp?id=3092189As you can see, you're not the only one to have come up with this idea.
You seem to have a special attraction to this topic, based on your profound response to the movie tombstone. This is your baby. When you follow it up and come up with the answer, would you please notify me?
My project is overwhelming in and of itself: basically taking the Bible apart, stone by stone, and seeing how it's constructed and what the true underpinnings of it are (the Glorian Code).
My Grandfather Luther Langdon Huffman was originally a Lutheran, and I know that Lutherans are rather male-centered, just as Jews are. If Martin Luther's followers in the 1500's Reformation years moved closer to the Jewish underpinnings of the Bible (permeating the New Testament as well as the Old Testament), then it would make a lot of sense for persecuted Jews to find refuge particularly with Lutheran Christians, to the extent of joining their churches and claiming to be Lutherans.
If what I suspect about the Jewish social structure is true (its own Egyptian pyramid architecture), then a Jewish Hofmann origin would explain a whole lot of things about my own Huffman family and my personal life.
Good results in your search!
