Earlier Records of the Herden Name:

Most of the Herden ancestors traced here come from villages in Schlesien (Silesia) - an area round the Sudety mountain range, formerly part of Germany, now split between modern Poland and the Czech Republic (lying between Wroclaw (Breslau) in Poland, and Prague in the Czech Republic).
Most of the village names in this tree are given in the old Germanic form, and where known, the modern Polish or Czech.
The Herden's were amongst the first settlers in the county of Glatz in Silesia, and records can be traced in villages in the area for over 600 years. The Herden line here came from Seifersdorf in the county of Gtatz. The main church archives consulted by Paul Herden and Karl Michael Viering are in Breslau (Wroclaw) in Poland.
Other Herden's in the records include:

Heynusch von Herden
