Hi, We are looking for information on the Stegelmeyer family, who settled in Madison County, Illinois. My maiden name was Stegelmeier, but in Germany it was spelled Stegelmeyer. My great-grandfather was Carl Friedrich Stegelmeyer. He was born in Isenstedt, Westfalen, Germany in 1834. In our years of research we have found another Stegelmeyer family in Preussisch Oldendorf. Does anyone know where the Madison County group came from in Germany? My family lives in Fremont County in eastern Idaho. Grandpa Otto Stegelmeier came to Chicago area in 1893, but did not like it, so he went on to Idaho. If someone can help me, many thanks.
