Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Hoopes (and variant spellings) families who came mainly from England. Some focus is on (but not limited to) the descendants of Daniel Hoopes, who came to America with his father, Joshua Hoopes. Early Hoopes ancestors settled in Pennsylvania and Virginia ca. 1683. During the 1800's, some moved to Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Utah. Some joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Later descendants also lived in the Bahamas, Guatemala, New Zeland, and in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

The Hoopes Family Organization had its beginnings in 1935, with the combined research efforts of Dr. Gerald R. Fuller, Francis S. McIlhenny, Lillian Fredsall Webster, and June Markus Hoopes. The Hoopes Family Organization, Inc. was formally established in Connecticut in June 1970. It obtained non-profit, tax-exempt status in 1971. Many copies of back issues, membership, and more information is found on their web site.
