Anyway, I am the great-great grandson of Solomon Levi and Anna Mariah Belle Demarest Shaffer. I have not been able to trace the family back past Solomon and Anna with any degree of confidence. Have you done any research in this area? Have you been in contact with anyone who has additional information on the ancestors of Solomon Levi Shaffer? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Do you know if anyone has continued the Shaffer Connections publication or where I might be able to get my hands on any copies or research? I live in Birmingham, Alabama, but am planning a visit to see my daughter ( a senior at Penn State) and my 88-year-old uncle (on my mom's side), with a potential stop in Reading, PA to spend some time in the county's historical archives. I suspect that my Levi Shaffer may have come from Berks County, but not sure. I was hoping someone else might have done enough research to give me more confidence that I would find something there.
Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans to understand what to do next.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The England Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
