Are we staying with Hartlein or doing one more redirect into Härtlein, with the umlaut?
According to the [|Germany Project Name Field Guidelines], it is proper to use Härtlein. Special characters should be preserved.
Normally, in German, if you cannot use an umlaut, you add an 'e' after the character. So, 'Müller' becomes 'Mueller'. There is a big difference in 'Mull', which translates literally to 'garbage', and 'Müller', which translates to 'miller'.
I don't like extra redirects, but feel we should use the earliest and most proper LNAB.
There is an extensive discussion on G2G about the use of gendered surnames..https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1461431/help-with-german-surname-forms-for-females?show=1461431#q1461431
The relevant page for the Germany Project is here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:German_Names#Female_endings
Bottom line is... remove the "in" suffix and use the neutral form for LNAB... Härtlein, Hartlein, Herdlein...
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Judy, I truly think you are correct in dropping the "in" from the LNAB. That is what I would do if I encountered "Härtleinin" in a record.

Of the sources cited on these profiles, the FindaGrave memorial is the only cited source that is identifiable from the information provided. The LNAB is supposed to represent her last name at birth. Are descendants aware of baptism records (in Germany) for her or other family members?
EDITED: The marriage record calls her Härtleinin. The "in" probably is a feminine suffix on Härtlein or Hartlein. The Härtleinin-2 profile for her got merged away, but if Härtleinin is determined to be the best estimate of her LNAB, the name on one of these profiles could be revised to Härtleinin.

PS (edited) - The vowel with the umlaut can't be an e, as there is no e with umlaut in German. As for ö, Geogen reports no instances of "Hortlein."

PS. Quote from Geogen.."Considering the population density the most HAERTLEINs can be found in Neustadt a.d. Aisch-Bad Windsheim (Bayern), namely 195 entries per million.
edited by Kie (Entrikin) Zelms
Last name should be Herdlein, since both parents have that spelling, and Anna married a Witt. If her brothers changed the spelling for the next generation, that doesnt affect Annas name at birth...
