Welcome to our site

It is dedicated to preserving our Hackstock family heritage and ancestry. Other ancestors include: Allen, Balch, Brand, Burdick, Gerard, Hancock, Hubbard, Jackson, Lewis, McClure, McCullough, Patrick, Pease, Rhoades, Schreiner, Spencer, Tuttle, and Withrow.

Thanks to the help of fellow researchers, family members, and look-up volunteers, this site contains a number of scanned documents pertaining to our ancestors and their descendants. This collection is always growing, so check back periodically to see what's new. By adding links to relevant websites to this collection, we have created individual 'resource pages.' To simplify your search, these are organized in three ways: by ancestor, locality, and document type. Use the drop-down boxes at the top of this page to quickly access each page.

Because there are so many people in a family tree, it can be very confusing trying to figure out who's who and what's what. So, I decided to compile a 'pedigree chart,' which will visually explain who the Hackstocks are. To me, they are my mother and her two sisters and brother: Patricia, Betty, Penny and Richard. If you ask my mom, they are "The Hackstock Kids" - four baby boomers born during World War II to Richard George Hackstock and Marjorie Deon Patrick.

What's new?

• OOPS! The Springfield Cemetery photos were taken by Brad Rhoades, not David and Linda Rhoades, and we wanted to make sure that credit was given where credit was due. Thanks Brad for the great photos!
• As requested, we've added images to the obituaries for Elmer Archibald Rhoades.
• Updated the Goodykoontz Cemetery page.
• There is nothing more annoying than slow-loading web pages. With this in mind, we have reduced the size of most of the images in this site, and are actively working on transcribing the related documents.
• Added links and updated pages, too numerous to list here. So, just dig in and enjoy.
