Where did the German Conradt family come from? What is the German Conradt family crest and coat of arms? When did the Conradt family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Conradt family history?

The origin of the proud surname Conradt can be traced to the historic kingdom of Bohemia, which is now part of Czechoslovakia. German surnames developed at a time when most of Bohemia, and most of the German provinces, were states of the Holy Roman Empire. At first people used only a single name, but as the population grew and people began to travel, they began to find it necessary to take on an additional name to differentiate themselves. The surname Conradt originates from the Old German emperor's name, Kunrad, meaning "kuehn im Rat" (bold in counsel).

The family became prominent in local affairs and branched into many houses which played important roles in the savage tribal and national conflicts, each group seeking power and status in an ever changing territorial profile. The name originates from the Old German emperor's name, Kunrad, meaning "kuehn im Rat" (bold in counsel).
