Hi everyone, It doesn't matter what time frame, where they came from before Michigan... I am having so much trouble finding _anything_ on this surname that I'm now doing a blanket search for anyone with or researching the Hangstafer, Hangstörfer, Hangstoerfer, Hangsdörfer surname. If you have even a variant of the above spellings or should trip across one during your searches, will you please contact me? Thanks so much. Colleen Pustola ladyaudris@earthlink.net
