I love the stories you've shared. How fortunate that, with all those spellings, the local extended family knows how each one connects. Sometimes, the only way to find these details is through the county records. Sounds like you are very fortunate on that account.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-1050267340576169082022-04-01T05:44:09.032-07:002022-04-01T05:44:09.032-07:00There are a few dlfferent families that settled in...There are a few dlfferent families that settled into my Northern Ohio county two centuries ago. Someone I have no link to the Schaffer/Shaffer/Schafer/Shafer family. And yes, all these different spellings can mean you have the same family. It can also mean that you are no relation to these specific families. The good news is that the original Schaffer/Shaffer/Schafer/Shafers all know who they are related to and descend from. And our county has great records. For those outside the family, it is a big guessing game. Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.com
