My great-grandfather, John Anton Hork had at least 10
brothers and sisters. Several of them
died before they reached adulthood. Two
of his siblings, Albert Hork and Clementina Hork, came to the United
States. One brother, Frederick Wilhelm
Casper Hork, remained in Germany and married Elizabeth Dollberg on 5 May
1872. They had a least two children:
Anna Bernadine and Friedrich Hork. The
baptismal records microfilmed by the LDS Church stops at 1876. So there may be more children that I don’t
know about yet.
Friedrich Hork was born on 16 September 1874 in Elpse, in Kreis Olpe, Westfalia, Germany. I have the baptismal
record showing his parents as Friedrich Hork and Elisabeth Dollberg.
I do not know any more about the lives of the Horks that
remained in Germany. Hopefully, I can
find some information soon.
Happy 138th Birthday to Friedrich Hork!
