Many thanks and most of the credit for the information on this page goes to John Murray who has spent years of research on the Neff family. Please see the connection to the Neff Genealogy in the links list.
According to the Neff identification system (created by John Murray) this is the C Neff line.
Spangler researcher Kathryn Rybak provided the link to the two families and contributed the information on the later generations. J. W. Neff's Neff/Stump database added the earliest generations of Neffs.
Page created 10 Nov 1998 and updated 6 April 2001. Links checked 11/12/06. Our direct line is in bold and the + indicates there is another generation on this page. Please e-mail corrections, suggestions or comments!

Note: It was a custom in many countries (not just Roman Catholic) to use the same first name (Johann, Marie, etc) for all male or female children. Civic records are probably listed under the second name, which is the name the child was known by.
