Actually, the name exisits in its present form in modern day Germany. The name Cloer has existed in history, with that spelling, for hundreds of years. The origin is from the Alsace-Lorraine region between France and Germany. Sometimes the region belonged to Germany, sometimes to France. According to my research, the name is actually French in origin and imigration could have taken place from France, not Germany, especially if it was during a time when the region belonged to France. (Hence no exit records in German.) According to my brother's research, sometime in the middle ages the family was awarded a title and at that time became a minor noble house. The title was probably awarded for some service to the crown. I have also been told by another family member, who has done extensive research, that the name is supposed to mean "nail-wright" in medieval French. It seems that most of the family originally settled in South-Western NC and northern Georgia near the sout!
hern end of the Appalachian Trail. Try checking records in that area.
