Michael Sperl is my 4th great grandfather.<\/p>\n

Birth<\/h3>\n

Michael was born in Bavaria, Germany, on September 29, 1788. <\/p>\n

Marriage<\/h3>\n

Michael married Mary Anna Emmer (1778-1857).<\/p>\n

Children<\/h3>\n

I can’t really decipher the names of his children but the one that continues my line was Francesca (1820-1889). Her name does not appear on any documents for the Sperls that I have found so far. <\/p>\n
