Hi,
I just came across your post requesting info on the Swiss Spaars. My family is related to some Spaars from Switzerland. We have met Willi Spaar & his family who live near Basel, I believe. They travel to the US every year or so.
His email address is (willi.spaar@bluewin.ch)


We have traced our family back to Grindle, Switzerland. Franz Peter Spaar Jr. emigrated to America in the early 1800's (he was born in May 25, 1798). He was one of eleven children fathered by Franz Peter Spaar Sr. of Grindle and Elizabeth (Huegli) Spaar from Brislach. Franz Peter died in 1872 in Bally, Pennsylvania which is close to Reading, Pennsylvania, where my father's family was raised and my uncle & Grandmother currently live. If you are interested, they would be happy to give you more of the history from Franz Peter on to today. My uncle, Steve, would be interested to hear from you regarding your family history and if we have common ancestors. It would be interesting to know more of our family's history.
