Thank you Yvette for your repeated information relating to my great-great grandparents Urs and Seraphine Hofer. All the family was most grateful to you for spending time doing this research for us.
I replied to you on 13 September, the day after you sent it. I am so sorry if you didn't receive it.
I have got a little further - but only a little. From a different website I found that, by the time Andre got married on 28 Aug 1868 in Grafenried, Bern (to Anna Maria Marti) he had changed his name to Andreas Franz Hofer. Also, Jenny Marie (1849) married in Portsmouth, England in 1901.
Again, we send our grateful thanks. Marie Nicholson
