Overview
The genealogy on this site is based on material obtained from a large number of sources. Most of the research was done by Alfred J. Englehorn. I have tried, with some success, to add to his work and find a number of individuals and families from clues found in his files. A few additional people have been found through the efforts of the late Hans Rausch in Germany and others. Berndt Engelhorn of Speyer, Germany, has provided much information via Email following his research in original family books (Ortissippenbuchs) in Hockenheim, Altlussheim, Neulussheim, and Speyer. The following is a listing of the sources copied directly from Alfred's 1969 manuscript. Following his sources are additional sources I have consulted.

Quote:
The Engelhorn genealogy in Germany is primarily from my translation of the chapter entitled ‘Engelhorn’ written by Otto Kauffmann and published in the following book:
1. Alte Mannheimer Familien, Schriften der Famlien-geschichtlichen Veringung Mannheim, pp. 37-67. Herausgeber, Dr. Florian Waldeck, Sechster Teil, Mannheim, 1925. Copy in New York Public Library. [Photocopies of pages 37-67 and English translation in possession of the author.] Otto Kauffmann acknowledged the following sources for his Engelhorn chapter: ‘Documents and records in the Badischen-Landes-Archiv, Karlsruhe. Mannheim in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, by Friedrich Walter. Geschichte Mannheim, by Heinrich von Fedor. Support was obtained through numerous communications and through the relinquishment of the family papers on the part of Geheimrat Engelhorn in Stuttgart and Kommerzeinrat Engelhorn in Munich. Also, Mr. Leopold Zöller in Mannheim. Particularly worthwhile was information about the numerous descendants given on the instance of Baroness Bertha von Gainsberg, nee von Gainanth, to whom I am much indebted.’ - Otto Kauffmann.
I did not consult these original documents and sources.
