The Hofius Family Homepage
(Hovius, Hovis, Hovious)
The name Hofius, sometimes changed in Hovis, Hovius or Hovious, comes in
all known cases from 2 or 3 different origin areas in germany.
Today most research is done on the descendants of Viricus Hofius, who was
born about 1651 on the Hoffmannshof, a farm at Hamborn near Duisburg in Germany.
Other origins of Hofius are settled in the Sauerland area (Bad Laasphe / Feudingen)
and in the area of Ilbesheim/Kirchheimbolanden in the Pfalz. Possible connections between
these different families in some cases could be excluded, in some other cases are not finally
researched.
The first person called Hofius in our family was the pastor Viricus Hofius. Here you find
