Yes,Posliff seems to have originated in Finingley Yorkshire ( near Leeds ) The farthest back I can trace it is late 1700's. My great grandparents emigrated to Ontario Canada and farmed in the mid 1800's, with most of the Posliffs ( I have been in contact with a few) staying in Yorkshire area. Other spellings are Postliff,Posliffe. Also some referral to the old "Russian" in 1800s suggesting Posliffs came from Russia in 1700s and name could have been changed from Poslov or Posloff.
