Panzlaff or Pantzlaff is a German surname. It does not appear to be very common, so if other Panzlaffs can be located, likely they would be related in some way.

Thanks to my cousin, Don Sweaney, who moved to Springfield, Missouri (where I live) in 1998, I have recently (1999) found some new leads on my Wegner and Miller and Panzlaff families. He ordered some microfilms of church and civil records for Karnitz and Hoff in Pommern which contain valuable information on my Miller/Mueller family.

My earliest known Panzlaff ancestor is Sophia Panzlaff who married Johann Miller.
