I am sorry if this is off-topic, but does anyone know where the surname Conatser came from? I have some Conatsers in my family and I didn't know if the name was English, Irish, German, or what. Thank you, Charlotte Miller

The Conatser name is GERMAN. There are lots of variations in the spelling. 17 April, 1738, Treschklingen, Bad Rappenau, Heilbronn, Baden, Germany, included an inventory of the property of Blathaser Knoertzer, including real estate, money, bedding, clothing, linens, tin articles, copper and bronze items, cabinets, barrels and kegs, farm equipment, wine, all kinds of kitchen equipment, cattle and other animals, and odds and ends, and debts, in preparation for selling everything he could not take with him on his passage to American. Johann Arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania November 9, 1738 aboard the ship Charming Nancy My line of Knoertzers (or Conatsers of Connatsers) left Pennsylvania just after the Revolutionary War and moved to North Carolina and later Tennessee and Arkansas. I would be pleased to exchange information with you. I have researched the family for over 40 years. Eldon J.
