The sons of Carl Heinrich Junghans

I stumbled upon a comment left by Peggy Bailey (thank you Peggy) that confirmed a photo of Emil Yunghans.

Now that I have a photo of all the Junghans brothers that left Germany in the 1800's and came to America as either a Junghans or Yunghans, here they are:

Emil Yunghans
Emil Yunghans, the eldest son of Christliebe Kuehn and Carl Heinrich Junghans.


Otto Heinrich Junghans, Paul Richard Junghans & Carl F Yunghans
Otto Heinrich was the third child, Paul Richard was the fourth (and last) child and Carl Frederick was the second child born to Christliebe Kuehn and Carl Heinrich Junghans.

The two eldest brothers, Emil Heinrich and Carl Frederick changed their last name to Yunghans from Junghans sometime after they left Germany for America.    The two younger brothers, Otto Heinrich and Paul Richard opted to keep the "J".

Unfortunately I have yet to find a photo of the Yunghans/Junghans brothers together or of their parents.

Carl Junghans - World War II draft registration

Here is the World War II draft registration for Carl Junghans, the second son of Paul Richard and Wilhelminia (Schmidt) Junghans and husband of Selma (Frentzel).






Carl and Selma were living in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin at the time he registered for the draft in 1942.    


Update

I haven't been very active in pursuing my research the past few years and have noticed that my entries on the Opera blog website are no longer available to view.    I have deleted the previous link to the Opera blog.   I don't recall which entries I had posted so there are a few that will most likely be forever lost.

With a little motivation I may post the backlog I'd accumulated since my Opera blog posts.
