Source: "Portrait Biographical Album of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin-- 1889; Portrait Biographical Sketch of Jacob Degenhardt," - page 390:
My own Degenhardt research suggests that Michael Degenhardt's father, Henry DEGENHARDT, was married twice and had children with each wife. Michael Degenhardt, and his brother, Jacob, came to the U.S. approx. 1855, according to application for citizenship from Lancaster, Grant County, Wisconsin.
Henry DEGENHARDT b. 02 Jan 1802 in Prussia, Germany; d. 1879 "in his native land" at the age of 77 years; married Christine Guengher/GUENTHER in Germany in 1828. CHILDREN from this union were 1)Jacob and 2)Michael Degenhardt.
Christine (GUENTHER) DEGENHARDT died in 1836, (presumably somewhere in Germany)when Jacob was 4 years old, according to his Biographical Sketch. Henry was then remarried some time after Christine's death, to Elizabeth MONDAG/MONTAG, also according to Jacob's Biographical Sketch.
From this marriage, Henry DEGENHARDT and Elizabeth (MONTAG) DEGENHARDT had five children:
1)Josephine, who died in infancy.
2)Henry, who came to Medford, Wisconsin.
3,4,5)George, Joseph Adolph who were listed as "still living in Germany" at the time of Jacob's Biographical Sketch in 1889.

'would love to hear from anyone with an interest in any of the family surnames as given here.
