I am looking for anyone who has done any extensive research on the Loffer family tree. My branch stops with my great-great grandfather, Jerome W. Loffer. He was born in 1853, but I don't have any information on where. It could have been in Iowa, where my great-grandfather, William was born. Jerome married a Sarah Wilson, who was born in Scotland and immigrated with her family to the United States in 1867-8. My mother said it was like Jerome sprouted from a seed, and magically appeared. His children weren't given much information about his past. If there is anyone out there who has Jerome listed somewhere in their tree, please contact me at my email address.
