As my wife always says I am extremely lucky from a genealogical point of view to have infrequent names in my family. I have already researched the ALFF side back to 1700, The other branches will be researched over the next couple months and years. So far I know that there is some French origin from the Georges side and a Belgian origin from the Jaas and Hieff side. If you have any of those names do contact me.
