Surnames: Shaffer, Schaeffer, Kessinger, Goetzinger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3hGBAEB/77.622.3 Message Board Post: Sally, Wrote you earlier this year about my Shaffer maiden name Grandmother b 1881 d 1934/5. I now have a Ken S. searching family known to me as Goetzinger but has also been written Kessinger from Germany. I couldn't connect with him on the Shaffer side as I know nothing, but it appears there may be a connection on the other side with one of the many spellings of this surname you mentioned in another message. I can't check any of your other messages or surnames the way you have your account set, so I feel like I am at a disadvantage. Willing to Share more.
