Tha family name is Hård, which means hard, and the family can be traced way back to the Middle ages. At some time, probably around 1625, they and the authorities realised that there was another family in the nobility, also named Hård. To avoid confusion one was called Hård af Segerstad, as they owned Segerstad manor in Reftele parish in Småland, the other family was known as the Hård af Torestorp after one of their manors.
These families are Swedish and I don't know why they should be referenced in English-language books? We still use Swedish, just as you use English, but we can both learn the other language, if we are interested enough.
