My great grandfather long thought to be named John Joseph Wilhelm (Johann ? Joseph) immigrated about 1880-82 to Glen Haven, Wisconsin with his wife Magdalena / Magdeline PAULY / PAULI and infant son Joseph Henry.
All records discovered so far have shown various given and surname: Jos. or Joseph for a given name---and quite often WILLMS or WILLIAMS for surname. The family once living in Dubuque used WILLIAMS.
