MENGES.
Spelling Variations
MENGES, MINGES,
MINGOS, MINGOUS,
MINGUS
The spelling of my ancestors names changed from Menges to Mingus
to Mingos as the families moved around the country and as each generation
moved farther away from their German roots.
Just because a spelling appears in this list does not imply that
families with that spelling have the same origins.
MENGES Coding System
The MENGES
Family Association of America uses a coding system to identify
the immigrants and generation of each descendant. Johann Conrad
Menges has been assign the code "F" or "F1".
Therefore, his daughter Maria Elizabeth is F2 (1st generation after
the adult immigrant). Her brother Johann Conrad (b1757) is also
identified using the code F2.
This code is combined with each male ancestor's name to clearly
define an individual's lineage. For example, Coonrad Menges/Mingos
was born 1777 and died 1863. He is the son of Johann Conrad (1757).
Therefore, he is identified as:
J Conrad (F1), J
Conrad (F2), Coonrad
(F3)
Immigrant Generation [F]
This family group is tracked by the Menges
Family Association of America af group "F" from the
immigrant forward. This is a different method of tracking
than found on other families within this web site.
