Where is your Houck Family from? I have traced mine from Rohrbach-Steinweiler Germany to Pennsylvania in the 1700's. They lived in Northampton and Monroe Counties, Pennsylvania.

Hi Patrice and welcome to the Houck Family Group. I've only gone back as far as Jacob Houck, 1785-1892 in Frederick Maryland. I'm still checking on where in Germany they came from. My Houcks started out in Frederick County Maryland and then ended up in Carroll County

Hi, My maternal great grandmother was Clara Jane Houck, daughter of Jacob Houck and Ruth Anna Kephart, of North Coventry,Chester County, Pennsylvania. She is believe to be descended from Johann Georg Haugen who died in Germany in 1732. Clara was married to Irwin Harner and died in 1933.

I'm a descendant of George Houck who married Mary (Polly) Snyder in Frederick Co., MD. He was born 1782 either in Emmitsburg, MD, or in PA. They moved to Springfield, OH, about 1836. George died there in 1862. Polly died in Springfield in 1866. I descend from their daughter Keziah who married Isaac Spencer. They ended up in Ottumwa, IA. I've never been able to find (for sure) George's parents

Hi Rebecca. I wonder if your George and my Jacob are brothers. My family comes down through his line, he was born in January of 1782 in the Frederick area and died here in 1862. I've kind of hit a bit of a brick wall on him as well, but I will keep you posted as to what I find, it might help you as well.

Gail, I have a couple of clues obtained from a history of Clark Co., OH. Here's an excerpt from a biographical sketch of George's son William: "George Houck, his father, is supposed to have been born in the same place, while his father, John Houck, it is thought, was a native of Pennsylvania. He was a brick-maker by trade and carried on the business in Emmitsburg, though he spent his last years at Mercersburg, Pa. The father of our subject learned his father's trade at Emmitsburg and made the brick there for the large nunnery in that town." When George got to Springfield he opened a brick yard there.

message to Patrice Houck Schadt: hi, my mother's maiden name is Houck. My great great grandfather was Jacob Latzlie Houck, his parents William G. and Frederica. Frederica came from Wurttemburg Baden, Germany. I would love to find more about this branch. Jacob married Margaret (Maggie) Hooven, parents Samuel and Louisa Hooven. This whole group of people lived in Carbon County (formed from Northampton and Monroe Co. during the 1800s).

My grandmother is Mary Rosella Houck Bruman. She lived in Burnside Township, Lapeer County, Michigan. Her parents are Frank Houck (from Lewis County, New York) and Josephine Hamlin (from Oneida, New York). Her grandparents are Ferdinand Houck and Helen Radel. Ferdinand was born in Kirrlach, Kirlsruhe, Baden, Germany. I believe he changed the spelling of the family name from Hauck to Houck. I am interested in making contact with anyone from this Houck line.

I am researching the Houck's from North Hampton Co. PA, and possibly Buck's county. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Great-Grandfather was John Homer Houck born 10/30/ 1860,in Dutch Bottom,Pa.married Edith Juniata Deal (Diehl) in Hollidaysburg Pa. on Dec 29 1886. I know tons about the Deals but next to nothing about my Houck fam.Possibly,John's father may have been Amish, but may have fought in Amer. Civil war..but I don't see how , if he was Amish..anyway,if any of this sounds familiar we may be cousins and I'd love to hear from y'all

Hello, I'm looking for a Maria or Delia Adams that married a Houck in the Woodsboro area, Frederick County, Maryland. She was the daughter of William and Joanna Grimes Adams. Her brother William Henry's obituary lists her name as Delia and her sister Gertrude Adams Albaugh's obit lists her name as Maria. Her parents had 11 children between 1869 and 1895 so I'm not sure where she falls in that line. Any information would be great.

Hello, I am new to your group.  My Grandfather was William Gilbert Houck, born 3/29/1876 in Lapeer, MI.  He was the son of Frank Houck, born 3/19/1845 in New York and Josephine Hamlin, born about 1857.  Frank Houck was the son of Ferdinand Houck, born in August 1817 in Germany and Adeline Hellen Radel.  Frank and Josephine Houck lived on their farm in North Branch Township in Michigan.
