Genealogy Spore:
After some three years of thorough investigation, I conclude that the
Spore ancestry of the former Strasbourg/Duntzenheim Spoor family
initially proposed here can be definitely ruled out due to fully
contradictory Alsatian (Strasbourg/Duntzenheim) church book entries;
copies/facsimiles of which are readily accessible in the internet –
written in old German cursive throughout.
Furthermore, the "Hen(e)ricus Spor" of Forbach/Lorraine can also be
omitted at high certainty for several reasons: (a), Apart from the fact
that his person is not mentioned at all in a vast number of family
pedigrees of the Spor family having lived in or near Forbach, Lorraine,
nowadays France, and (b) even eliminated meanwhile from the LDS list of
individuals, (c) even if nevertheless existing, having had no brothers
or cousins with the first names of either Herman, or Johannes,
respectively, the names and persons of which were recently found having
been mentioned between 1750 and 1767 in Northern America – Pennsylvania
– and in close connection to Heinrich Spohr/Henry Spor(e). Probably even
as brothers.
The most likely place of origin of the Heinrich Spohr/Henry Spor in
question - and of a brother Herman Spohr – was the village of
Nieder-Saulheim in Rhine-Hesse, nowadays Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Dates of birth: Johann-)Heinrich Spohr, 6 Apr 1733, (Johann-)Hermann
Spohr, 13 Sep 1736. Johannes Spohr, their older brother, was born in the
nearby village of Essenheim, baptized there on 15 Jul 1726. Their
parents were Johann Peter Spohr and his wife Anna Elisabetha née either
Frantz-Hofer, or simply Hofer, respectively.
