The Teeft Family

This post begins in Diltz Road Cemetery in Attercliffe Station in Haldimand, Ontario, Canada. There are many names there such as Dolan, Teeft, and Houser, and all three are involved in today's post. There is certainly more work to be done on this, but I figured I would write up this post and add to it as I research more, since it can get overwhelming to do it all at once.                                        James Alfred Teeft & Elizabeth Jane Putman James Alfred Teeft was born May 9th of 1843 and died October 13th of 1922.
