Mary,

Hoock is an Americanized name for HUCK, a common name in Alsace-Lorraine.
The pronunciation of Hoock in English and the pronunciation of Huck in
German are the same pronunciation.
To hear both pronunciations you can use the site

enter the word then click on ''speak''

Subject: [ALS-LOR] Help with surname Hoock


> Good morning,
>
> My gr gr grandmother, Apollonia Hoock Steppig (Stoeppig/ Stoppig), is one
of my brick walls. The 1880 Federal Census has her from Alsace (spelled
Elsa). Does anyone on this list know if Hoock is an Alsace surname or if
this could be a derivation of another Alsace surname that became
Americanized? I do not have access to her date of birth (I am in San Diego
on business and do not have my personal computer) but I seem to remember she
was born abt 1832. Michael Steppig, her husband, is from Alsace and he was
born abt the same time. A fellow list member is a distant cousin of mine
and he shared his Steppig ancestral file with me and I am very grateful for
his kindness. Anyway, I can not find an immigration record for Apollonia
and am wondering if Hoock is the correct spelling. Any help you and give me
will be greatly appreciated.
