90% of Schnorf history that is out there to be gleaned,
came from Dr. Erik Conard. Even the LDS got early information
from him. A retired college professor who has invested most of his life

Schnorf/Snorf/Snuff are all
spelling variations of our Family name. The oldest known Schnorf (in this country)
was Hans Jacob Schnorf. Often confused with his poss. Dad from
Switz. We are linked directly to his blood line & this book will show pictures
& other information for these links. I have photo’s of all our tombstones
(My Line) except for Old Jake & Mary. We have not found his.
Jake & Mary & at least one Child are buried on his Home
Place. I have located this place & walked it several times. Have found where
I think the general location of the home was. However our history states the family
cemetery was destroyed sometime near the late 1800’s. We do need to
prove old Jakes date of birth in that the date that is recorded in Switz. (when
he left there) does not line up with the date we have recorded on old Jake landing
in this country. A two year gap there. They show he was born March 17, 1741 or
1742 they just can not be sure from the writing if it is a 1 or a 2. On this side
we have absolutely nothing on his date of birth, not one known record. What we
do have is a Toledo Ohio crime lab expert whom Brandon Schnorf
employed to compare Jake’s signature from his Will to his signature from
the Ship Chance passenger list. His comments were “ I have never seen two
signatures of the same person so identical, yet written with such a long period
of years intervening”. So we do know our Jake is this Jake. We do not know
our Jake is the same Jake that links us to Switz. We think so but need to prove
this point. If so we have our Family recorded back into the 1300’s. Hope
all enjoy this info. & hope there will be more to follow (God Willing).
At the time of this writing we have over 2 thousand people
in our data base & over 1,600 are directly related. Have been getting new
info. Monthly.
Note Dr. Erik Conard is & always
will be the owner of this info. He has labored throughout his adult life getting
us this info. Thank You Mr. Erik Conard & Mr. Allen Schnorf also is owed
much credit for this info. The rest of us to a lesser degree have been &
will continue working this Good History!
