After several years of looking in CH, Alsace, Pfalz, etc. I finally found my GRAEFF (GRAEB) family in the records of the Evangelische Kirche, Siegen.
My ancestors were Johann Peter GRAEFF and Anna Maria Catharina SCHNEIDER, who immigrated in 1767 or 1768. After 7 or so years in Berks Countyunty, they moved, with other Siegen pioneers into Brothers Valley, Somerset Co, PA. These are GRAEFFs I know about. Their name changes to GROVE.
On the same ship with JP was a Johann Balthasar GRAEFF, and I can find no trace of him in PA.
There may also have been other, earlier GRAEFFs from Siegen, probably spelled GRAFF.
