The Swinehart family has been traced back to 1620 in Kunsbach Wertemberg Germany. The earliest known ancestor is Conrad Schweinhardt. Along the path from Schweinhardt to Swinehart there have been a number of variations to the name.Some of these variations may have been started as the result of spelling derivations such as Shwyhart, Swainhart, Swynhart, Swineheart and Swinhart, and others may have been more conscious changes such as Hartswine, Swihart, and Swanhart - the reasons for which are unknown. Most of the variations of the name (Swihart and Schwyhart), originate with the descendants of Hanns George Schweinhardt rather than with the George Micheal Schweinhardt.
Almost all the ancestors have been traced back to Conrad Schweinhardt who was the father of both George Micheal and Hanns George both also born in Kunsbach Württemberg Germany.
