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.
