General Notes: Husband - Karl Michael Winger


The progenitors of the Winger family, who immigrated to America, were Huguenots. They settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1736.
The origin of the name Winger was from the locality in which they originally lived, in the immediate mountainous vicinity of the "Wengern Alps" in the Canton of Zurich (this is one of the highest ranges of the Alps in Switzerland), thus Wengern anglicized to Winger.
