: Rudolph Zerfahs might have been my great grandfather. His sons were Arthur and George Zerfahs.
Hi,
My gr gr grandfather came from Germany in the 1870's. His name was Jakob Zerfahs. He had a brother named Rudolph. They were diamond cutters and had jewelry stores in Chicago.
Their name was eventually changed to Zerfass. It's my mother's maiden name.
