WELCOME!
I have always felt a strong sense of obligation to commemorate
and honor our ancestors due to their strong commitment to their families, and especially due to their persevering through
especially harsh and trying times. Due to their religious faith and upright moral lifestyle, they were marked for extinction
so very long ago by evil authorities, but now inhabit nearly every country in the world. I first began my Stauffer ancestry
search around 2001, but got halted in early 2003 by a rather sudden, as well as lengthy, deployment to Southwest
Asia (Iraq). I hope to reestablish past contacts, as well as to discover the extensive and extended families we
are all connected to. I never got to know my grandparents Albert Leroy and Anna Isabel (Nessler)
Stauffer. Albert died when my dad was 9 years old, and Anna also died before I was born. It is my
eventual intention to be able to locate as many living decendents as possible, and establish a broad-based Stauffer Network.
I remain convinced that all Stauffers/Stovers/Stouffers/Stoffers are related. I have many old genealogy books that
I was lucky enough to find to order. Many of these Stauffer histories were written pre-1900.
I would also like to thank all the Stauffers and friends from around the globe for visiting our STAUFFER SHOWCASE.
(updated on 11/15/11): Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium,
Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary,

Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, South Africa, South Korea,
Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Ukraine, and the United States of America.
I truly wish for you all to have a wonderful holiday season.
As you can see, there is a tremendously keen global interest
being shown in the mysteries of the Stauffer/Stouffer/Stover ancestry. A Stauffer is a Stauffer no matter who or why
the many spelling variations. Marked for extinction by rulers of the Switzerland darkness - yet they continued to outnumber
almost any ancestry line on the earth. Even though the evil rulers in Switzerland so long ago, ruling from the dark
world while plotting the Stauffer annihilation - the Stauffer generations - by the Grace of God, continued on.
A very special thank-you to my wonderful Stauffer cousins: William
"Bill" and Kathy Stauffer of Vermont, and cousin Cynthia, who have been an inspiration to me.
I would appreciate your news with any information you may come across concerning upcoming Stauffer Reunions,
Stauffer deaths, and anything else Stauffer.
I hope
you will take a few minutes one day to participate in the Stauffer Forum (see link at the top). Cheers!
Best wishes to all,
