I am looking for the Shaffer,Shafer,Shaver's of Walton,West Virginia in Roane county. I have established back to Jacob Shafer who married Jane Catherine Harper "Gincie" in 1850. Jane's parents are John A. Harper and Rachel(Taylor)Harper married in 1815. I think Jacob's parent's are John S.Shaver and Mary(Cox)Shaver married in 1828. This Jacob had a son named Isaac Shaffer who married Nancy Elizabeth Nutter in 1898.

It is very difficult to follow the family tree when they change the spelling so often. I guess we have all had that challenge at sometime.I hope someone will know something to help. Thank You so very much for your time. I hope your hunting goes well.

Dear Jini, Welcome. What I suggest is that you post this article (just cut 'n paste) at all the Genforums for spellings variations of this surname at links below. You may have to first register as a new user, it's free too.

SHAFER Family Genealogy Forum - Also see Shaffer, Schaffer, Schaeffer, Schaefer

SHAVER Family Genealogy Forum

And even goto RootsChat.com. Register as a new user, free site, then find their Emigrants to United States board to post a similar article.

Have you been to RootsWeb? If not, click on the link, scroll down to Family Trees WorldConnect and click on Search Family Trees to begin a global search of rootsweb for your SHAFFER / SHAFER / SHAVER etc family.

Tip: Don't try to make the search too complicated by filling in the whole entire search box. Just type in for instance, SHAFFER and perhaps the word Virginia or even America in the death place.


Good luck,
EDITOR.
