References to Hobohms found while surfing the net
This section contains various references to Hobohms that we have come across while surfing the internet, which is, of course, a wonderful resource for finding information. At the same time, however, the internet is also an intrinsically ephemeral medium, as websites constantly appear and disappear. We therefore felt that simply putting links to the sites we had found would not be enough, since those sites might just vanish from one day to the next. Instead, we decided to describe those sites and reproduce the relevant information here, so that the information does not get lost even if the original site goes down.
We hope you find these references to other members
of our extended family as interesting as we did.
Please note that they are not presented in any
particular order - just as we found them! Please
also note that most of the people mentioned here are
Hobohms that we do not (yet) know. We hope to find more
about them through this page. If you are, or know of,
one or other of these Hobohms, we would be very pleased
to hear from you.
