Craig Leonhardt 6/04/04
John Leonhardt was my grandfather's (Walter) brother.Their father was also John Leonhardt.He was born May 22, 1881 in Sheboygan, WI.His father was Herman Leonhardt and was also born in Sheboygan on September 18, 1855.Herman married Johanna Muetzleburg on nov. 27, 1878.As best I can tell, the Leonhardt's emigrated to Sheboygan around 1852 from Hesse, Germany.There is a lot of good information on the Sheboygan county genweb site about the early history of german immigration to Sheboygan that you might want to look at.Unbelievably, one of my half brothers is also named Craig Leonhardt and now lives in the Stratford area!
