Hello, My name is Richard W. Scheife, I am 80 years old and live in
Jupiter Florida USA. I have been trying for a couple of years to find out
where my family origonated in Germany. I have not been very successful.

While checking Google again on "Name Scheife" , I ran across this listing
that showed you had the family name of Scheife as one you had information
on. I hope this is true. The name Wolfgang Ewig was shown along with
"hannover-Monatsdigest 2005-07.

My greatgrandfathers name was Carl Scheife born in 1823 and migrated to
America in mid- 1800s, He married, in Germany, Caroline Schumacher who was
born in 1833. They had two sons that I know of and I believe both were born
in Gemany. Their names were Lewis born in 1855, my grandfather and
Henry.That is about as much as what I know.

I have had corresponse with two German men, Dr. Hanno Scheife from Hamburgh
Univ. and Mr. Lutz Scheife. We are still trying to determine if we are
related. They believe the clan was from the pommeran area.

Hope infomation can be be obtained.

Thank You,

Pommern that have those names.
