Surnames: CAFFERY, CAFFREY, SCHARFF

Date posted: Wednesday, September 3, 1997

I have information on Owen CAFFERY, from Ireland, who became a citizen of the United States on October 9, 1871, in Huron County, Ohio, Town of Norwalk. He had a son, James Thomas CAFFREY, 1876-1938, spouse Henrietta SCHARFF. I inherited some papers and pictures. This person did not have any children and her immediate family preceded her in death, also not having any children. I think Owen CAFFERY may have had several children and possibly those decendents would be interested in the papers and pictures that I have, but I don't have any idea who or where they are located. I am not researching the CAFFERY's since I am not related. If anyone is interested in this information, please e-mail anytime.
