Where & When ... Temporal & Geographic Distribution THE MANY FACES OF HARTWELL SPEARIN SPEARIN FAMILIES IDENTIFIED SO FAR Early European connections for the Spearin's
One theory is that the Spearin's originated in Europe, perhaps in Flanders, which lies somewhere between modern day Belgium and Holland. You can read more about this potential connection at the following webpages: http://genforum.genealogy.com/sperling/messages/52.html http://www.qsl.net/kb9csw/FredBill.htm From: Een faniliehistorie. SPIERING. by J. A. Spiering, Amstelveen, 1999: "Jan IV, fourteenth Lord of Heusden died in 1192. He had two sons with his wife Margaretha van Hoorn; Lord Robert van Heusden and Lord Wouter van Spierinck. This Wouter Spiering was the first to use Spiering as a last name and can be considered the progenitor of those that bore and bare the name." What to do now?
