Helena Clare (GROFF)HUMMER was my great grandmother. She was the daughter of George F. GROFF and Caroline HAINES/HAYNES. Who were the parents of George F. GROFF of Thompson Township, Seneca County Ohio? George GROFF’s parents are unproved. It appears almost certain that they were Sebastien GROFF and Catherine ____ since, at the time of the 1860 census, George and his wife and family lived next to a Sebastien GROFF, age 72, born in “Germany,” (according to the census) and his wife Catherine GROFF, age 65. George claimed to have been born in Bavaria, Germany. Who were the parents of Caroline HAINES/HAYNES?? They, presumeably, were born in Alsace, according to family oral history. But no proof yet!
