• Shaffer Background

  To the best of any known research the earliest American Shaffers came from Germany sometime before 1750. To the exact location in Germany has yet to be discovered but the American origins of most early Shaffers appears to be in eastern Pennsylvania. As time brought more generations Shaffers were consistent with the westward trend of American migration. Many Shaffers today are scattered throughout southwestern Pennsylvania in the counties around Somerset. Some moved on to Ohio at least by the early part of this century while the last few decades have seen Shaffers scatter to most parts of the US. This issue is devoted to those that migrated on to their final home.
