It has not been determined whether theCoonrod/Conrad/Coonrad/Kunrath/C huret name is an old Swiss name ormerely that of Germans living in Swi tzerland. As with most names thespelling was changed each time it was w ritten, depending on how thewriter heard it. Some documents have been f ound containing fourdifferent spellings within the same document.
As for our family, most public records have been found under eitherCoo nrod or Conrad. For purposes of simplicity, only Coonrod will beused h ere.
