PURPOSE

My name is Robert Douglas Kleopfer and I am the 9th great grandson of Caspar Jacobse Hallenbeck (1620 - 1703). The purpose of this site is to provide a clearinghouse for information related to the Hollenbeck/Hallenbeck surname. Most pages will load fast.  I will do my best to update this site with fresh and interesting information as time permits. I invite you to share information with us! Any information about any Hallenbeck/Hollenbeck descendant, including stories, biographical sketches, obituaries, and queries are welcome. I will post the information here as appropriate. If you are a descendant of a Hallenbeck/Hollenbeck  please drop me a line.  I would like to add your name and family information to my database of several thousand Hollenbeck descendants. Below I have listed various Hollenbeck families in America, many of which have not been linked to Caspar Jacobse Hallenbeck.
