gangsta-rap asked: I know this is a weird question and I hope you can help me. My last name is Conatser which is German but my ancestors when they came over to U.S. changed the spelling and I have tried to research what the original spelling of my last name could be but cannot find it. If you have an idea or know a place I could find this information I would be very grateful thank you.

The first thing I did was searching for your last name in the phonebook. There’s one family that uses the same spelling. Not much, right? Then I searched some more and stumbled upon this great website for you: ancestry.com.

And guess what I found? “Conatser” used to be spelled “Konitzer” or “Könitzer” (with the Umlaut). I’m glad I could help you! Here’s the link.
