The first Tarr in America was Richard Tarr who founded Rockport ME in the 1600's and was from England.however there are jewish Tarr's also. Probably from England.Many Tarr's orignate from the Durr family from Germany. I have also been told, nothing to back it up, that some Tarr's are from russia and the name was Tarinsky, I have also heard Tareshenko too. That is only heresay.I am a Tarr descendent.My GG grandfather was named John and was born in Ohio in Ca.1824. Later in Iown, Nebr. and finally KS.My be descendent of Durr but no fact yet.
Do you know your lineage?
Maybe we could compare to see if we are related.
