Greetings, As I will not be able to access the internet after today I wanted to get in touch with any SHAFER researchers that may desire to correspond via regular mail. AS SUCH PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND VIA EMAIL to this POST! I will not see it! :) I have recently discovered that my SHAFFER line is almost without any doubt of the line of Johann Nicholas SCHAFFER, one of the three brothers that settled in the Tulpehocken area of Berks co., PA circa 1721. My connection appears to be through his last child and son, Jacob. I'm also trying to get in touch with Gert M. of California who is also connected to this line. Anyone wishing to contact me regarding SHAFFER research may do so at either 412-351-3127 or Michael Shafer; 4062 Miller St.; Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Looking forward to hearing from other researchers! Best Regards, Mike Shafer Pittsburgh, PA [email protected]
