Sebastian Hoover - Sebastian's birthplace and date

Is there reason to doubt it?

There seems to be some consistency to at least being from Germany. Koblenz has been a 'hub' city in western Germany for many centuries.

Dan, that is so far from being genealogical evidence, it's not funny. I take this seriously. Do you have any shred of evidence that Koblenz was his birthplace, or did you just copy it from people's family trees on Ancestry.com?

The person to contact is Beverly Cornelius on MyHeritage.com -- that is where the information came from.

Sure, it's not strong genealogical evidence. I also do not discount family oral traditions.

DNA evidence can certainly be used to dis-prove connections.

Connections of immigrations across large distances (e.g. oceans) are often hard to prove or dis-prove.

I'll add a Curator Note about the current 'nature' of that connection.
