The Wischhoffs arrived in Canada with the emigration of Friederich Heinrich Wischhoff (9 April 1886 - 12 January 1965), in 1915, who was probably born in Dorfmark, Germany where his family lived. He first settled in Alberta province and later moved to British Columbia where he lived and died in Abbottsford. It is not clear to me at this moment whether Frederick was married in Germany or Canada, but he and his wife Sophia Emma Marie Proehl had six children in Canada. It is remarkable that all children dropped one of the two "h"s in the name, so all descendants are now called Wischoff. The reason for this is still unknown to me.
