Juengel - the surname

The family lived in St. Louis, MO from the second half of the 19th century. Earlier generations came from Hessen-Darmstadt, in particular the Oberhessen district. There were also some Juengel families in the Rhineland, Prussia, esp. in Bettenfeld and Solingen. I do not know the meaning or derivation of the name, but it is a German surname. The people in the table below are part of our Fridolin Thoma's First-Family Group.

The (-4G) etc. indicates the number of generations before Erven Thoma and his siblings. The asterisk indicates direct-line ancestors. Those in bold type have their own pages.

Of course, wives, children, and other non-employed relatives will more than double the number of people with the Juengel surname. The wife of Otto Thoma, Mary Elizabeth Juengel, was a daughter of John; she and Otto were married ca. 1888.

A Johannes Juengel (-5G) married Anna Dorothea Gross (-5G), sometime in the last quarter of the 18th century, perhaps in the district of Oberhessen, Hessen. One of their children was Johann Heinrich Jungel (-4G), born on 01 Mar. 1796 in Lehnheim, Oberhessen, Hessen. (He died on 10 May 1861.) He may have married an Anna Maria Dietrich (-4G) on 20 Oct. 1816 in Bellersheim, Oberhessen, Hessen.

Johann Heinrich Juengel (-4G) and Anna Maria Dietrich (-4G) had at least a son Johann Georg Juengel (-3G) who was born on 29 Dec. 1821. Perhaps Anna Dietrich (-4G) died before 1823. Anyway, Johann Heinrich (-4G) remaried to Anna Maria Magold (-4G) on 10 May 1823 in Lehnheim.

One of the sons of Johann Heinrich Juengel (-4G) and Anna Maria Magold (-4G) was Johann Heinrich (John Henry) Juengel (-3G), was born on 18 Mar. 1824 in Lehnheim, Oberhessen, Hessen-Darmstadt. John Henry (and his wife?) immigrated before 1870 and settled in St. Louis. One of their daughters was the Marie (Mary) Elisabeth (-2G) listed above who married Otto Thoma. John Henry Juengel (-3G) died on 18 Apr. 1891 in St. Louis, MO.
