I would like to know what, if anything, is known of the derivation of this surname Jaffe, -ee, ie, and its spelling variations in the western/English alphabet.
It seems to arise from somewhere "east bloc", of families with numerous children, then emigrate westward through Germany, thence for the greatest part, to U.S. Does this surname word have a meaning, does it refer to a trade or feudal area, or ??

Louis and Gertrude Jaffe of New Jersey
Seeking information on descendents of Louis and Gertrude Jaffe. Gertrude Jaffe was the daughter of Abraham and Lena Lagofsky Login and the sister of my grandmother, Esther Login Libin.
According to the 1920's census Louis and Gertrude were Jewish immigrants from Russia around 1911-1913 and settled in Elizabeth, Union County, New Jersey. They had eight children: Freda (1895), Max (1898), Dora (1902), Sadie (1906), Herman (1908), Rosalind (1912), Irving (1914), Milton (1916). Irving and Milton were born in New Jersey, the others in Russia.
Gertrude may have died in the 1920's as Louis's wife in the 1930 census is Fannie and there is also a step-daughter, Anita Kaplan, listed in his household. His occupation was given as owner of a turkish bathhouse.
If you have information on this family please let me know. We are working on completing a project on the family history and descendents of Abraham and Lena Lagofsky.

Moses Simon JAFFE: Russia>Germany>NE>CA
I am searching for siblings and ancestors of Moses Simon JAFFE, born about July 1843 in
Russia, possibly in the region of Bessarabia. The youngest of thirteen children, his
parents died when young, and he wound up working in Prussia and other German regions.
He married Rosa HIRSCH (b. abt. 12 Dec 1851 in Prussia) in 1872 in Berlin, Germany.
I believe they moved to Koenigsburg, Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), where six children
were born. They moved to the United States in 1883, were in Omaha, NE with relatives of
Rosa HIRSCH JAFFE around 1885 to about 1889, moved to CA in 1889 and settled in the San Jose
and San Francisco areas. Moses JAFFE later moved to Sacramento, CA where he died in 1913.

Barnet Jaffe, Ettie (Hetty) Goldschmidt - Bethnal Green, England and Riga, Latvia

He is buried in Rainham Jewish Cemetery but has no stone and they have no records on him. There is also no info available through any synagogues etc. His fathers name was Zalkin Yaffa or Yaffe.
I believe they were illiterate at least to English as their marriage certificate is all signed with X's so any spelling of the last name is based on the translators interpretation. I have seen is Jaffe/Jaffa/Yahfa/Iofe/Yaffa/Yaffe.
He married Etia (Ettie, Hetty) Goldschmidt born in about 1880 in Russia ( I am thinking the Ukraine but can't definitely confirm). She is the daughter of Shraga Nisan "Philip" Goldschmidt and is also buried in Rainham, died 12 Dec 1944 in Middlesex England. Based on her grave I believe she had one sister and at least 2 brothers.
I am hoping to find info on Barnet and Ettie's parents and siblings etc, and also find descendants.
