Do you have any information of you ancestors were the spelling of the name changed? We had an ancestors arrive in Australia in 1850, Christina Pfaffle with her 2 year old son Christian. Apparently came ex Hamburg Germany. Our name is now spelt Phefley, a lot of links available in the usa with numerous different spellings, they have been traced back to 1700 in Germany but we are not sure if they are actually part of our family.
Regards,
Dorne Phefley Saunders.

Trying to trace Christiane Catharina Pfaffle born 30.3.1826 Weinsberg, Germany to Johann Jakob Pfaffle (born 10.5.1796 Weinsberg) Regina Elisabeth Wirth (born 12.9.1803 Weinsberg. Christiane, unwed, had 3 children to Christopher or Christian August Grimmer or Grimmel born 13.10.1827 at Neuenstadt, Germany, he died in Heilbronn Germany on 18.8.1881. Christiane came to Australia in 1852 with her only surviving child Jakob Christian Pfaffle (known as Christian). Any information please contact me at email address: mickland@ozemail.com.au

We have now verified that Nicholas Peffley was a Pfaffly from Signau, Canton Bern, Switzerland. He is the immigrant ancestor and father of the Peffley, Pefley and Peffly families in USA/Canada.
