SCHAAF
Also CHAUFE, SCHOFF, SCHAFF
The origin of the SCHAFF family of the German Coast is disputed by two documents which refer to the same individual, Anna Marie SCHAAF. On July 12, 1743, a marriage contract was signed between Antoine Francois STEYGRE and Anne Marie CHAUFE, widow of Pierre CLERO, a native of Wurttemberg in Germany. Eleven days later, on July 23, 1743, the religious ceremony occurred in the parish church of St. Charles of the post of the Germans; in Louisiana, however, the priest recored that the bride, Anne Marie SCHOFF, was a native of Kevenach.
Initially, it was assumed that the SCHAFF family was from Kemnat in Wurttemberg; howwever, an examination of the Lutheran registers failed to provide a single clue. In reality, the family of Jacob SCHAAF and Anne Marie FOLTENLOGER were from Keffenach, in the present-day department of Bas-Rhin in France.
Originally, the SCHAAF family was protestant and records were found in the Lutheran Church of Birenbach, for which Keffenach was a filial parish prior to 1685. After the revocation of the Edich of Nantes in 1685, the Lutheran pastor, Michel STECK, departed and left the protestant churc in a state of disorganization. In November 1685, the entire congregation converted to Catholicism and was included in the parish of Schoenebbourg.
The earliest SCHAAF entry is found inthe registers of Surbourg on May 9, 1661 when Hans Jorg SCHAAFF, married Maria PALMAT[IN].. Between 1669 and 1674, Adam SCHAAF, of Keffenach, was mentioned several times as a witness, as well as were his wife Catherine, and son, Hans Michel SCHAAF.
From 1674 to 1683, the name, SCHAAF, was not mentioned at Schoenbourg; however, after that date the baptism of three children of Adam SCHAAF and Eve, his wife, were recorded.
1 Johannes SCHAAF was baptized on June 24, 1663. The witnesses were Hans Jacob Pfenner, Johann Hockondorn, and Margaretha Klein, daughter of Gorg Klien of Rottschwyler.
2 Andreas SCHAAF was baptized on Dec. 28, 1685. The Godparents were Jorg Friderich Suchin of Birlenbach, Andreas Eichon, and Catharina, wife of Michael Blattner.
3 Hans Caspar SCHAAF was baptized on March 16, 1687. The godparents were Caspar Reichart, Hans Ulrich Muller and Veronica, wife of Muller. Hans Caspar SCHAAF married on October 21, 1714 to Gertrud Foltzloger, daughter of Johann Michael Foltzloger of Memmelshofen. Memmelshofen was a filial parish of Birlenbach and then later, Schoenbourg.
A fourth son of Adam SCHAAF and Eve last name unknown was Hans Jacob SCHAAF born abt. 1680 Kevenach, Bas Rhin, France, who married Anna Maria Foltzloger. [no record of birth or marriage found] They were the parents of Anna Margarite SCHAAF who married Ambroise Haydel.
