I am a Paff that grew up in the Cincinnati, Ohio Area. My Grandfather was Joseph Paff and he had 13 Children. I am just wondering if anyone out there may be related.

I am just strting to research this line. I am not descended from any Paffs but several of my lines (Bross/Martini/Schwab) have marriages from the Paff line. Was your Joseph married to a Bross and a Reimerink?
|
Yes, he did. His first wife, Anna Theresa Reimerink, died in 1945. They had 13 children. In 1955, he married Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Bross and they had 3 children. I have more info if you need it.

My ancestor Leo STAAB's parents were George STAAB and Mary Paff. Leo (b. 1842) was from Feldkahl (or Mombris) near Aschaffenburg in Bavaria. He married Margaret KLOTZ from the same area, and they immigrated to the U.S. about 1880 and settled in Cincinnati, eventually in Mt. Healthy. Might Leo have any connection to your PAFFs?
