My great grandmother's maiden name was Ernst. She and her husband, Carl Henry Sporleder, came to America from the Hanover area of Germany in 1871. The name of the village is Dassel.
In her biography, Katherine Graham of the Washington Post states that she is a descendant of Ernst families from Hanover. They were Lutheran ministers.
