Catherine Sporri (Hess) Herr - Parents?

Here’s the infographic. I’m tagging to
geni profiles and ticking off validated facts.

It looks like FamilySearch doesn't have any 'real' records supporting her; there is at least one reference to an Ancestry record, so maybe someone with an Ancestry account can look for supporting records. The marriage date of her claimed parents seem to be consistently reported, but that also means Catherine was born some years before that marriage.

“ Furthermore, Theodore Herr’s book presented the Herr family as having been descended from the knight Hugo Herr, a figure from the Middle Ages. This has since been shown to be false, and little is actually known for sure about the Herr family genealogy prior to the Hans Herr after whom the Hans Herr House is named.”

The geni tree has her back to Louis l. We should consider the validity of this Ancestry for Rev Herr.

Here’s the book:

This “sister” seems to be from a different family:

Anna Meyer

She’s cited here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Jacob_Hess And here: https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/h/e/n/Carole-Henson-CO/WEBSITE-0001/U...

No. Hans Jacob and Anna Egli (1584–1639) "had 7 children: Anna (b: September 1607), Christian (b. February 15, 1609), Heinrich (b. January 28, 1615), Hans Egli (b. May 24, 1617), Samuel (b. August 28, 1621), Veronica (b. February 10, 1623), and Dorothea (b. October 7, 1627)."
Their Anna was born in 1607 and died in 1627.
She is here - Anna Hess.

The Herr book you listed can be found on my project. The book is valid but does not contain ancestors of Hans Herr. It is his descendants.
Theodore Herr did not claim an ancestry to Hugo. That assertion is from E. B. Vien, Recorded in the Register of Noble families and he did not specify Hans Herr. In 1593 the Lord of Bilried, John Herr obtained from the emperor a written testimony that his family were of noble descent and retained the coat of arms. "And this Coat of Arms yet rightly belongs to the present family of Herr".

In the past, I have found the Hans Herr house curators are not a good source of information about the genealogy of the family. Their specialty is the artifacts from Christian Herr's family. Unfortunately, the family bible does not include ancestors of Christian's father.

Jim Wile so what might be the best way to represent ancestry on Geni? It seems we don't have good sourcing for his origins??
