There was some speculation that the Hinders might have moved to Ireland from Germany, but nobody's been able to substantiate that. My personal theory is that somebody needed to change their name in hurry for some unnamed and probably nefarious reason. ;-)Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-80218339955144612932017-02-25T06:16:11.481-06:002017-02-25T06:16:11.481-06:00My brother Stan and cousin David are the genealogi...My brother Stan and cousin David are the genealogists in our family.
