My Boff family came to Brazil in 1875, coming from Seren del Grappa, Alto Veneto, the region northern to Venice. A lot of Boff'families came in those times from Seren del Grappa, to the southern regions of Brazil, now Caxias do Sul, in the recently open settlement for european imigrats. Boff in today a very common name hier in the region.
In 1979 I visited Seren del Grappa and got insight of the county records of the Boff family. I had a long talk with the priest in charge of the local catholic parish about the local uses and families and so on. He was a devoted investigator of local history and uses. As he told me, in the local dialect 'boff' means old worn trunks - specialy of oak. "like those which grow along the stream near the small vilage you went allong in your walk. Still today down in that village live a lot of Boffs, surrounded by boff trees. For us, Boff - family name - has probably the same origin as the Boff - place name".
