THE GERMAN ELRODS
Ellrod - Ellrot - Ellroot

	In this translation there is some French not yet translated which will be scanned on a page.
	Some of this represents: 
	(1) Part of the Funeral Eulogy of Philipp Andreas Count Von Ellroot.
	(2) The memories of Fredericka Sophie Wilhelmina, Margrave of Bayreuth, sister of Frederick   
    	the Great of Leipzig.
	(3) Letter from Fredrich Wilhelm Ellroot to his wife Countess d'Ellroot formerly Countess
    	Loewenhaupt of Bayreuth.

		The origin is not known.  When Samuel Wilhelm Oetter dedicated his 5th piece (play) about 
	1763, "Munzbelustigungen" to the Count Phillip Andreas Ellrodt, he wanted to know of two knights by 
	the same name (Ellrod) Konrad and Friederich about the year 1269.  He was promised a result for his 
	request.  A promulgation did not follow.  In Giboldehausen in Eichsfeld, Province of Hannover, are 
	families with the name Ellrot since the 30 year war, which are of the peasant (farmers) family and
	are supposed to be old vassals (Feudal) families.  They follow the catholic confession.  They only
	know that their ancestor came from the Franks area around the 16th century.  One of the eight 
	families which built two tribes branched out to Berlin.  The Frankish (Franconion) line has Jacob
	Ellrot of Culmbach as ancester.
