My greatgreatgrandmother was Sophis Scheiffer, was born October 16, 1867 in ? Germany. I would like to know if there are people by this name in Germany today. Does anyone know of the name meaning? She came to Home City, Marshall County, Kansas. I don't know if she came by herself or with her unknown parents or sistger and brothers.

Donna, Just look at the German telephone book. http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/ I got Hinweis: Es wurde kein Eintrag zu Ihrer Eingabe im Feld "Name/Suchwort" gefunden. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Eingabe. for your last name I tried it with Ja Auch Ahnliche namen suchen and I got some answers. Perhaps your family's name got changed coming over, they americanized it or they were german ethnically but before they came to the US, they lived in Poland or Lithuania and the name spelling changed there.
