@zigzigzig How so? Oh, wait... you think that being LGBTQA+ means everyone is just there for a fuck, right? Grow up.

Hoffmann is 10th pn the list of most common german family names. Hofmann is 23rd (according to Wikipedia). So pretty popular 😀

@user-kw5ze5ky5q that happend a lot with german immigrants to the US... especially if they migrated at around the time of the first WW. A lot of activly lived german culture vanished. On top of that migrants, who are being told constantly that integrating means giving up their cultural heritage -, unless it's easily consumable (like food, drink, music), put their past aside to fit in. If you know where your granddad was from you might be able to contact the local church or a Verein (look for Gesangsverein, Freiwillige Feuerwehr stuft like that)... they might have records or pictures. If you are lucky there might even be a Heimatverein that can give you an idea what living in his hometown/village might have been like. It will not be able to replace his own stories told in his own voice... but might help you to connect to your heritage in a new way.
