Johann Mehl immigrated to WI in 1844 . He was born 25 Feb 1818 in Bavaria. Lived in Steinbach. He was a cousin of Jacob Konrad and George Regenfuss, of Dormitz, Oberfranken, Bavaria, who immigrated in 1843 to USA and to Goldenthal (Goldendale) now more commonly known as Germantown, WI.At the time when he immigrated he was a single man. Both parents were deceased. His Regenfuss cousins, were Catholic, and are buried at St. Boniface Cemetery, Germantown. I have found no burial records for either Johann or John Mehl. Johann\John did own property in the Goldenthal area, and lived close to his cousins. I am a descendant of Jacob Konrad Regenfuss.
Jacob Konrad Regenfuss had a son, John, who married a Margaretha Kern.
