Life
Joseph J. Hoffman is recorded on the 1920 census index card as "Joseph D | S | 13," a New Jersey-born son in the household of George J. and Mary T. Hoffman. This archive normalizes his name as Joseph J., while the index transcription gives the middle initial D; that discrepancy remains unresolved. The family lived at 132 West 30th Street in Bayonne.
Our family tree also names Joseph as a son of George and Mary. No record in this archive follows him into adult life.
How we know this: A 1920 census index documents Joseph in the household, but even his middle initial is disputed and no later records are included.
