Surnames: Shaffer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/4710.1 Message Board Post: Dear Linda, Could you please tell me some on your line of Shaffers. I am looking for information on my mothers side of the family who spelled their last name Shaffer. My grandfathers name is Walter Shaffer and I believe ggrandfathers name was Walter, Lewis or Louis. They were farmers living in Ohio first and then Kansas. My ggrandmother was Catherine Ireland. That is all I know. So far I haven't seen any familiar names about these Shaffers and not sure where to start. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, GMoser
