    All my life I have been lead to believe that my sir name was German. Reciently, I have been told that the name Schaaf is probably Dutch. I
    know that my great-great grandparents came from a port in Germany,
    however, I did not find out where they were from. I have also been told
    that lots of people departed from a German port, but actually came from
    some other country.

    If anyone can give me any more information, I would appriciate it.

    Thanks in advance

    My maiden name is Schaaf. I have traced my paternal ancestors to Baden Baden, Germany. It's interesting what you say about the name being Dutch because my maternal ancestors came from The Netherlands and were Dutch.
