From http://www.wargs.com/political/gore.html "Ancestry of Al Gore" by William Addams Reitwiesner

"As shown above, Vice President Al Gore's immigrant Gore ancestor was John Goare of Middlesex County, Virginia, who arrived before 1677. If there was any connection between James Gore and John Goare, it would have to have been before they emigrated (separately) to North America, but their origins are (currently) unknown."
