Could be distant cousins but hard to tell. You might want to check out the Luzerne County Yahoo Group called LuzerneConnections. They have about 250 members researching Luzerne County names and I know there are people researching all spellings of Shaffer there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Luzerneconnections/ Best of luck, Kat in VA
