I am wondering the name Spehar, could it have been at one time been Spegar? I am researching Spegar Cvijo my great-grandfather who was born somewhere in Dalmatia in 1847.

Spehar is my family name. Spegar is a different name altogether, most commonly originating in Serbia. Google shows up people in the United States with the name Spegar. Maybe you could contact them and see if they know anything more.

Hello Mr. Spehar,
My grandfather immigrated to Calumet, Mi, in 1890s. He had 6 children: Catherine, Eleanor, Paul, Douglas, Josef, Ralph and Samuel.
My father, Josef, adopted my sister and I.because my mother could not have children.

Dear Mr. Spehar,
Please see my reply above. I’m not sure where my Grandfather was from, I remember when we first found out he wasn’t really German, we looked up the name of the town. It was a really long name without vowels. It wasn’t far from Medugorje. sp?
Cordially,

My Spehar side of the family came from Cerovnik, Karlovac Croatia. My Grandfather’s first name was Tomo and he settled in Kansas. According to his marriage record his father’s name was Mike. I am sure that is the Americanized version to his name though. Would love help with any other information. Thanks, Donna
