Hello, I don't know if this will help, but in the 1880 free census in the USA, there is a Lofstedt family living in Minnesota AND, perhaps, most importantly, they indicate they were born in Sweden.....   Pat

Hi Peter-- Thanks so much for the update and the link to historicaldirectories.org--what a fantastic resource! I've been finding lots of little tidbits about various ancestors on the site since you gave me the link.  I really appreciate all your help.  -Jenny

Hi Pat-- Thank you for finding those Swedish Minnesota Lofstedts for me.  I don't know if they're related to my Loffstadts, but I think you're right about the Swedish nationality being a key.  Sounds like my Loffstadts may have originally been of Swedish origin.  Thanks for your help, Jenny

Hi there!

This is unrelated to your question but I wanted to reach out and see if you could help me.

I am a South African Loffstadt and am struggling to find resources about my South African family.

I am looking for more information about its origins and how the Loffstadt family may have arrived in South Africa. I'm interested in learning more about the family's migration history and any details regarding their journey or settlement in South Africa as well as the European origins.

If you have any insights, records, or knowledge of this surname, I would greatly appreciate your help in uncovering more about my ancestry. I don't have access to many unpaid resources and would appreciate anything I can find out.

Thanks in advance!
