Carol, I checked the SF City Directories years, 1899, 1900, 1903, 1908, 1910, 1912, 1917, 1921, 1923 & 1925, and could not find the surname Sporemann/Sporman. I also checked the Classified of each year mentioned, with no success. Sorry, Nancy Pratt Melton Golden Nugget Library npmelton@yahoo.com http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~npmelton/index.html
