Originally, the SCHAAF family was Protestant, and records were found in the Lutheran church of Birlenbach, for which Keffenach was a filial parish prior to 1685. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the Lutheran pastor … departed and left the Protestant church in a state of disorganization. In November 1685, the entire congregation converted to Catholicism and was included in the parish of Schoenenbourg.
