Hi Shaffer Cousins! It looks like I may have some "free" time on my hands in the next few months. I plan on updating (and correcting) the book "The Shaffer Family History" by Lee B. Shaffer which was last done (to my knowledge) in 1973. For those of you who aren't familiar with this book, it is solely the descendants of Adam Shaffer and Catherine Elizabeth Wotring of Preston County, WV. Adam was supposedly born in Germany between 1760 & 1770, married Catherine in Lehigh, PA around 1789, and came to Preston County in the early 1790's. I'm looking for any and all descendants of this couple (regardless of present surname) to help by contributing their input on this work. I can use GEDCOM files and will be happy to return GEDCOM files to those who submit one once this update is completed. GEDCOM files should show any and all descendants the submitter has for Adam Shaffer up to and including the present generation. Thanks in advance to all those who can help out. Email submissions to me directly rather than through the listserver to minimize traffic. Chuck Miller ([email protected])
