I am related to a Catharina Winkelmann from Siselen who immigrated to StLouiss in 1860 or perhaps the year before. I was wondering if there are other Winkelmann's who emmigrated from Siselen to StLouiss?

She married Heinrich Menz from Bielefeld in 1860 in StLouiss. He is Henry Mentz on the 1860 directory and there after.

Background Info:
Kirchgemeinde Siselen KB 4:266. Catharina Winkelmann, b. 6 Jan 1832, bp. 15 Jan 1832; daughter of Hans Winkelmann the son of Friedrich, and of [his wife] Elsbeth Prolin (sic, not too clear), who were married 2 July 1817

Another passage says:
KB 8:33 where he is called Johannes Winkelmann and she is called Elsbeth Probst and it was recorded with the date June 6, 1817

Catharina(Catherine) has her mother listed as E. Eisle on her death record for St. Louis. Peharps this was her second mother or it is wrong on one of the documents. I do believe that the mother listed on the church record is wrong because she is down again giving birth in April of the same year as the husband of another Johannes Winkelmann. Obviously men's second names are not listed and this is probably were the confusion lies.
The iseli.org website lists Johannes Winkelmann marring Elsbeth Iseli from Täuffelen in 1817.


If any distant relatives could shed light on the matter it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel
