We are extremely happy to welcome you to our family web page. We would like to share with you some of our interesting historical past and also explain some of our various current activities. If you are not a family member, we hope you will enjoy visiting with us. If you believe you are a part of our family and would like to join our association, please contact us. Our family association consists of the descendants of Tobias Friderich Tafel, born in Rosenfeld, Germany, in 1612. Extensive immigration to America began in the middle of the 19th century and we now have many relatives scattered over the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The Tafel Family Association was formed in 1974, with two branches: the Tafel ‘scher Familienverband for Europe and the Tafel Family Association of North America. Our branch is now known as the Tafel Family Association of The Americas and we are pleased to have regular contact with our many relatives in Europe. We hold an international family reunion every two years, alternating between Europe and The Americas to which all Tafel family members are welcome.

We hope you will find the following information informative and we welcome your comments and contributions. If you have any news, pictures, or upcoming events that you would like to share with the family on the website, please send an e-mail with your information to:
