Dave Conrad info:
The Conrad name means "One who is considered to be a bold, aggressive counselor". It was written this way
originally and only later changed by some german families to Konrad. The earliest ancestor we can trace on the
Conrad side is Matthais Conrad, a coachman by trade, who arrived in the small village of Kleinhuebach am
Main in 1563 along with other draymen with a load of wood to rebuild the local church which was built in
1454 and destroyed by French attacks in the thirty years war. He stayed and married a local girl. Matthais was
born about 1535 and many Canadian and American Conrads'/Conrods' are descended from him. Earlier
ancestral records were unfortunately destroyed.
