Imhoff.us is a digital home for the histories of the Imhoff and Pryor families and the many surnames connected to them. The archive brings together more than 1,200 individuals, 338 surnames, and over 1,000 documents and photographs, with records reaching back to the 1300s. Family roots extend across Bavaria, Ireland, Quebec, and the northeastern United States, especially Oneida County, New York.

This collection stands on the work of Frederick Ferdinand Imhoff (Father Maurice) and Joseph Daniel Pryor, whose research forms its foundation. Richard J. Imhoff expanded that legacy through decades of contributions and connections with relatives near and far. Today, the archive is maintained by Daniel Imhoff, who can be reached through the contact form in the main menu.

Alongside the core database, the site offers resources that highlight records needing further research and present images from across the collection. Weekly anniversaries of births, deaths, and marriages bring historical moments into the present. Additional tools and information are available through the main navigation.

The following links lead to dedicated pages for the archive’s two principal surnames, Imhoff and Pryor. Each page offers access to photographs, original documents, and genealogical records. To explore all individuals and surnames, use the Genealogy option in the main menu or the Search Archive button.

If you recognize a name, have a photograph tucked away, or know a story that hasn’t yet been recorded, your contribution is welcome. Every shared memory strengthens the record and helps preserve these histories for generations to come.
