This Project is for all spelling variants of the Germanic Name of Ehrhard, Erhard, Ehrenhard. For more detailed information on these families, go to my RootsWeb site below: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ehrhard/ Goal One: To connect all the direct family lines. Goal Two: To discover if there is a direct family connection to the Ehrhard family’s in Alsace, France and Rhineland, Germany and Thuringia, Germany. Erfort, Thuringia, Germany is where the Coats-of-Arms was bestowed upon Friedrich Christoph Luis Erhart in 1483. Goal Three: There were about 30 Ehrhart families’ that came to America before 1776. I have been able to trace 8 of them to Rhineland, Germany. They all lived about 30 to 60 miles from each other in the early 1700’s. Is there a connection between any of them? 1) Johann Simon Ehrhard from Seckenheim - See Results 2) Philip Reinhard Ehrhard from Iggelheim-Ameila Earhart’s 3) Johannes Ehrhard from Walldorf 4) Christoph Ehrenhard from Ilbesheim-Dale Earnhardt’s 5) Jacob Ehrenhard from Ilbesheim-Dale Earnhardt’s 6) Johannes Ehrenhard from Ilbesheim-Dale Earnhardt’s 7) Johann Philip Ehrenhard from Ilbesheim-Dale Earnhardt’s 8) Johann Heinrich Ehrhard from Staudernheim-Jeff Earhart’s 9) Johannes Ehrhard from Staudernheim-Jeff Earhart’s 10) Wilhelm Ehrhard from Staudernheim-Jeff Earhart’s 11) Peter Ehrhard from Rohrback 12) Valtin Ehrhard from Rimhorn 13) Casper Ehrhard from Wilheimsfield
