This year, 1999, we met in Chicago, IL for a Hohmann/Mulligan reunion and in two years we will meet in San Francisco. We have determined that the family of Adam Hohmann (1738-1799) from Waldgrehweiler Rheinland-Pflaz area of Germany, m.Elizabetha? unknown, child Maria Catharinia Hohmann (d. 1828) who bore Johann Conrad Hohmann(1801-1858)m.
