      !THERE IS A STORY IN MY FAMILY THAT THE HARTMANS WERE OF JEWISH ORIGIN.
      THERE WAS A JEWISH COMMUNITY IN THE VILLAGE OF WACHENHEIM-ZELLERTAL,
      WHICH IS ABOUT 2 KM EAST OF ZELLERTAL (RHEINLAND-PFALZ).
      ZELLERTAL IS ABOUT 18 KM WEST OF WORMS & THE RHEIN RIVER.
      ZELLERTAL IS ABOUT 100 KM SOUTH OF MAINZ, AND 50 KM NORTH OF SPEYER.
      WORMS, MAINZ, AND SPEYER HAD VERY LARGE JEWISH COMMUNITIES PRE-WWII.
      WORMS WAS THE CENTER FOR THE JEWS OF GERMANY.
      IN 1096, THE FIRST CRUSADE RAVAGED THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES
      OF WORMS, SPEYER, AND MAINZ, WHICH WAS LAUNCHED BY POPE URBAN II, ON 27 NOV 1095.
      DURING WWII, THE JEWS WERE IRRADICATED BY ADOLPH HITLER.
      WORMS IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE OLDEST CITY IN GERMANY.
      WORMS WAS ONE OF THE CENTERS FOR THE CAROLINGIAN RULERS.
      WORMS WAS THE WINTER RESIDENCE OF CHARLEMAGNE.
      THE CAROLINGIAN RULERS WERE DESCENDANTS OF THE MEROVINGIAN FRANKS,
      WHOM ORIGINALLY CAME FROM SCYTHIA.
      WORMS WAS KNOWN AS LITTLE JERUSALEM IN MIDEVIL TIMES.

      !HARTMANN MEANS STRONG MAN, BUT IN THE CASE OF FAMILY STORIES IT MEANS STRONG IN CHARACTER, OR MAN OF INTEGRITY. OTHER NAMES WITH HAPLOGROUP MATCHES TO OUR HARTMANN INCLUDE GOODMAN, MEANING GOOD MAN; AND WORDEN, MEANING MAN OF GREAT WORTH OR PRAISEWORTHY. IT WOULD SEEM THAT HARTMAN IS NOT AN ARBITRARY SURNAME, AS THESE SURNAMES SEEM TO BE EQUIVALENT IN MEANING. OF INTEREST IS THAT THE HEBREW EQUIVALENT FOR HARTMANN CAN BE TOVIYAH.

      - TOBIAS IS A NAME OF HEBREW ORIGIN (TOVIYAH) MEANING "THE GOODNESS OF YAHWEH (God; Jehovah) or YAHWEH IS GOOD".
