    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wg.2ADE/4684.1 Message Board Post: My Grandparents were from Germany. I am trying to find some history of our family. All I know is that the name was at one time Schafernolte but was changed over the years to the present spelling of Schafer. There were alot of Schafer's in the Bluff Hall area of Fall Creek Township in Adams County. All of the farms that were in the Schafer families have changed hands over the years. There is still one island on the Mississippi River that is still shown as Schafer Island although the Government now owns it
