Kay,
Thank you so much for responding to my earlier post of last year. Shortly after that posting, I located two distant cousins that had further information on the Ifft and Schnauffer families. One of them, Carol Holeswki, received information from you on the Ifft family. If I am correct, you were living in New York at the time.
Sarah (Sadie) Schnauffer was my great-grandmother. Her son Paul Victor Boyer, b. 1907, d. 1943, was my grandfather. Carol sent to me a copy of a picture of the Schnauffer sisters, Flossie (Schott), Isabelle Elizabeth (Rosenbauer), Eva (Rice), Ida (Kniess), Sadie (Boyer), Leafie Mineiva (Funkhouser), Catherine Schnauffer (not in the picture).
Sadie (Schnauffer) Boyer and husband Charles Clarence Boyer who died March 20, 1958, lived within 8 miles of my home when I was a child. I grew up in Connoquenessing, PA where some of my family still lives. However, after my grandfather Paul Victor Boyer died, my grandmother Levon Susan (Fritz) Boyer had a falling out with Sadie and Charles. My mother was just 13 years old at the time. Gram never spoke to, or off, Sadie and Charles. I learned of them when I was in my early 20s. I knew nothing of the Ifft family until last year.
I would enjoy finding additional information on Michael and Maria Ifft.
Thank you.
