Surnames: Shaffer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3hGBAEB/328.479.952 Message Board Post: My great grandfather was Albert Shaffer. According to the 1930 US Census, it indicated he was from Michigan. I don't have any information about his parents or if there were any brothers or sisters. Do you have any additional information about the family? His children were John, Albert, William, Eugene, Rita, Francis, and Genevie. He was married at the age of 21 to "Amelia" who was Czech. Anything sound familiar? Thanks! kris
