Some Mincklers were among the Palatine families who settled in the Germantown area. The rest of the volume traces the Winckler-Winckler family from generations two through seven, with part II devoted to related families. Appendices include the diary of Pvt. Levi Minkler who died in the Civil War (18th Regiment Wis.).
