Hello, my name is Frank Springer (no, I did not make a typo error in my last name.) I had just found out while searching my father's side that there was a name change back in the mid to late 1800's. Hence the name SPRINGER. My g-g-and so on grandparents were called SPRENGER and originate from ANTWERP, northern BELGIUM. I hope this helps you in your quest. My g-g-grandfather was named, PETRUS A. SPRINGER and my g-grandfather was named, JOANNES BAPTISTA SPRENGER. His name was changed when he landed on the MIRAMICHI BAY, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA . Contact me and maybe we can share info? Thanks, Frank Springer, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
