The Boffin Family was a prominent family of the Shire, associated with the region of the Yale in the Eastfarthing.[1] Important members include Berylla Boffin, who was an ancestor of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and Folco Boffin, who helped Frodo in his move from Bag End.[2]

A dashed line indicates marriage, or when extended vertically, indicates a line of descent with one or more generations not shown. Names in italics signify those who attended Bilbo's Farewell Party on 22 September S.R. 1401. Names in parentheses represent significant hobbits related to the Boffins.

- ↑ Reputed to have 'gone to sea' in 1195
- ↑ Removed to Bree in 1210
- ↑ Sister of Laura Grubb, who married Mungo Baggins
Etymology
The name Boffin is a rendition into English of Westron Bophîn, of unknown meaning.[3] An early idea by Tolkien was to translate it "Loffin", as Bophîn (at that time) had a connection to "Laugh".
