I'm not related to your line, but have a reference book that lists biographies from Rock County. It has bios for Adolph Schroeder and Frederick C. Nuffer. Let me know if you're interested in them. If so, I'll transcribe and send them via email.

Yes, there are still Nuffer's in Rock County.. Cletus (Cletis) Nuffer lives in a rather new home on an acreage about 3 miles east of Steen, MN. I don't recall what his address is, but it would be either Steen or Luverne. His two sons (George & Allen) live near Hills, Minn. Also, there is Larry Smith who is the son of Lucile Nuffer Smith and I think he RR#2, Luverne, MN.

Surnames: Boose Nuffer Schroeder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RJB.2ACI/273 Message Board Post: My g-grandfather Johann Boose (10 Apr 1859 - 12 Sep 1949) came to Beaver Creek in 1884 when he was 25 years old. He married Martha Nuffer (29 Sep 1863 - 23 Jan 1943) on 15 Mar 1887. Their surviving children were Esther, Herbert, Ruth and John. Herbert (b. ca 1897) married Alma E. Schroeder (27 Nov. 1895 - 19 May 1983) ca. July 1921. I am wondering if there are still any Booses, Nuffers, or Schroeders in Rock County.
