Established in 2014, imhoff.us serves as a permanent repository for the genealogical records, historical materials, family stories, and research connected to the Imhoff and Pryor families and their many related surnames. The database spans more than 1,200 individuals, 338 surnames, and over 1,000 documents and photographs, with records extending back to the 1300s. The families documented here trace roots across Bavaria, Ireland, Quebec, and the northeastern United States, particularly Oneida County, New York.

Much of the foundational research originates from the work of Frederick Ferdinand Imhoff (Father Maurice) and Joseph Daniel Pryor, whose efforts established the basis for much of the genealogical knowledge presented here. Richard J. Imhoff also contributed significantly to these archives over his long life and developed many contacts with distant relatives who were tremendously helpful and generous in furthering the family history. The archive is currently maintained by Dan Imhoff, who has been researching and preserving these family records since the early 2000s.

Beyond the core genealogical database, the site offers interactive features including a Heritage Map plotting family location across centuries and a Brick Wall Finder identifying records where additional research is needed. The site also highlights family events; births, deaths, and marriages, whose anniversaries fall during the current week, connecting the past to the present calendar. See the Genealogy menu above to investigate these features further.

The links below lead to dedicated landing pages for the two principal surnames in this archive. Each page provides access to hundreds of resources, including photographs, original documents, and genealogical records: Imhoff and Pryor. To explore beyond these two families, the Genealogy option in the main menu offers full search capability across all individuals and surnames in the archive.

If you recognize a name, have a photograph tucked in a drawer, or know a story that hasn’t been written down yet please reach out. Every contribution helps keep these families’ histories alive. This site exists to keep these resources organized, accessible, and available for future generations.
