My families are from a village near Stuttgart in the Kingdom of Würtemberg. I've also seen the name in villages in southern part of the Grand Duchy of Baden. Have you visited your local LDS Family History Center and rented the village microfilms. ========================== Kirchenbuch, 1649-1793 Evangelische Kirche Hördt (Kr.
