Re: Edward Spaar Sr 1903 PA family reunion news article
This past June 2003, I visited a Spaar family in Reinach, Switzerland. Arnold Spaar, born on July 12, 1855 in Reinach and died February 29, 1940 in Reinach. He married Cacilie Krayer. They had five children: Arnold, Elsa, Max, Cacile and Werner. Arnold married Emilie Feigenwinter. They had three children: Arnold (nicknamed Noldy who I just met), Fridolin and Theres. I am wondering if any person from this large family ever came to America.
The entire Krayer family lived in Arlesheim, Switzerland. Cacile Krayer's two younger brothers came to America.
