Carl Frederick Yunghans marriage

I had posted previously about Carl F Yunghans the second son of Carl Heinrich Junghans and Christliebe Kuehn,  who married Hannah Kerlifofaky on November 8, 1905 in Marion, Indiana.

I found another document which not only provided the middle name for Carl (prior to today, I only had an "F") but also confirms Christliebe's last name Kuehn (or Kuhn) even though it's misspelled.

This document also provides additional confirmation that Emil, Carl, Otto and Paul were all the sons of
Carl Heinrich Junghans and Christliebe Kuehn.

Carl F Yunghans and Hannah Kerlifofaky - marriage

The second son of Carl Heinrich Junghans and Christliebe Kuehn, Carl F Yunghans was married to Hannah Kerlifofaky on November 8, 1905 in Marion, Indiana, almost 4 hours northeast of where they lived in Vincennes, Indiana.

I believe this if the first document I've encountered that has connected the 4 Junghans/Yunghans brothers (Emil, Carl, Otto and Paul), based upon the father, Heinrich Junghans and mother, Christliebe Kuehn.

Probably due to the Junghans' brothers  American pronunciation with a German accent of their parent's names or the government employee's misspellings have led to numerous variations.

Otto Yunghans - marriage application

Here is the Vincennes, Indiana marriage application for Emil and Julia Yunghans' 3rd son, Otto.

Henry C Yunghans - marriage certificate

Now that I've finished entries for the eight sons of Emil and Julia Yunghans'  World War I draft registrations, it's time to move onto another topic.

Here is the marriage certificate for Emil and Julia Yunghans' second son, Henry and his wife Anna Hanneman who married on June 18, 1903 in Vincennes, Indiana.

When I was in Vincennes, Indiana in 2007 trying to locate information on the brothers of my great grandfather Paul Richard Junghans, I stopped at the genealogical society and copied marriage records.  I did not know at the time that the Yunghans records I copied were part of our family until a couple of years later when I had been provided the family tree of the older Junghans (Yunghans) brothers, Emil and Carl.
