During the course of researching my Hoch/Hoch family history, I hope to make contact with distant cousins. So far, I have encountered one:

• Joe Martin of Buford, Georgia
• Sara Hardy of Oregon

Joe Martin

I came across the website of Joseph Martin of Buford, Georgia, (formerly of Dansville, New York) in September 2001, while searching for the "Hock" surname. The website is at www.mindspring.com/~joemart. It lists John Hock, the brother of my great-grandmother, Barbara Hoch Staebell. In an exchange of e-mails, Joe and I confirmed that we are third cousins. Our common ancestors are Frank Hock/Hoch and his wife Eva Fürst. This is Joe's lineage:

• Frank Hoch (1832-1904), m. Eva Fürst (18??-1872)
  • John Hock (1861?-19??), m. Mary Merkt (1856-1905)
    • Laura Dorothy Hock (1888-19??), m. Joseph J. Falkner
      • Dorothy Falkner, m. Charles Richard Martin
        • Joseph Dennis Martin

Sara Hardy

Sara Hardy of Oregon contacted me by e-mail in Aug-2002. Like Joe Martin, she is a descendant of Laura Hock Falkner. Sara's father is my third cousin. Our common ancestors are Frank Hock/Hoch and his wife Eva Fürst. This is Sara's lineage:

• Frank Hoch (1832-1904), m. Eva Fürst (18??-1872)
  • John Hock (1861?-19??), m. Mary Merkt (1856-1905)
    • Laura Dorothy Hock (1888-19?1), m. Joseph J. Falkner
      • Norbert Adam Falkner (1915-2001), m. Ruth Brown
        • Ronald Falkner, m. Esther Guerrero
          • Sara Jane Falkner, m. Jack Hardy
