About Jacob Hopf

Translation from the 1928 Tuhcmann Stammbaum und Chronik:

"Like Siegmund, Jakob Hopf also emigrated early to America. His aunt Ele Winkler wrote this on 5 January 1850: 'Our Gella's Jacob also wrote me. He is very happy. He is a daily guest at my Julie's.' After a few months Jacob returned to his homeland and helped his father, who at the time was still living in Uhlfeld, in the hops business. In the year 1855 Jacob Hopf wanted to return to America, but while en route there, this hopeful young man found his death—it is claimed that the ship sank."
