After many years, we finally present the entire DORF family, as we know it.
It is based mainly on information I collected up to 1983.
Our ancestors originated from southern Galicia. Our Dorf family are Cohanim.

During the course of my research I found a few Dorf families which are yet unconnected to our family.
  Dorf families from the Tarnow area I listed separately in Unconneted page.

         Red first letter (such as Born) denotes that I have a copy of the said document.

Thank you. Shmuel.
