Notes: It is with this generation that the earlier generations become impossible to sort through. Due, most likely, to the "Springer Hoax" which was set into motion in hopes of obtaining valuable land, through proof of descent from European Royalty. Th ere is quite a lot of discussion and theorizing on this Hoax and how messed up the lines might actually be. From all I've read, this particular generation is not in question, but those questions begin with the parents of Karl. Were they, indeed , Christoff/Christopher Springer and Beata Baltzar-dotter Salinus Springer? If so, and proved, then each successive earlier generation will need to be very carefully documented, in order to uncover the TRUE ancestry of the "Springers of Delaware" .
See NOTES under first wife, Anica, for more on hoax and possible resources.
