I am just now looking into geneology again. I found your old email from 2006. My great grandfather is Jacob F. Cloer. I think we are descended from the same group of Cloers, however, I believe it was before my great grandfather, Jacob F. My grandfather was John William Cloer.
Yes, I am related to Gene Cloer. He is my brother and he lives in GA, not AL. He was the minister for the Church of Christ in PRescott, AR for 31 years.
