Hello Geoff,
Yes, that is my family. I was hoping the name WOULD be Sopher in reality, much easier to track down the history of it.
I think the family did go back to Jewish links, as in Saphier, etc. and the name Saphar is found in France, Morroco, other places in Africa. Saphiers I was told are Holland Dutch Jews who came to England..
The furthest back I have gone is to Stephens' father, Michael Saphar.
Thank you very much for your help, if you find out Saphar and Sopher are related please let me know!!
