My Uncle ()Grt-Uncle) Doc - Benjamin Franklin Hoover said that he was President Hoover's 3rd cousin. Which would make my father a 4th cousin and myself a 5th cousin. Hum,sounds like we could be related... My grt grandfather John Hoover's brother Peter used to wright to Jesse Hoover . they were 1st cousins. Is your wifes family Quaker ? My grt grandfather was a Quaker. He Spoke German, but was actualy from Switzerland and learned German in School. What was your wifes parents and grandparents names ?
