Family Biographies and photos. In addition to Winker family biographies, there is ancestry information on the Lux, Goerger, Borgmann, Richter, Calhoun and Feuerstein families that are related to the Winker family. Most of these families had their origins in Germany/Prussia, and all immigrated to America in the early to mid 1800s. The Calhouns were from Ireland (obviously) and arrived around 1820.

The Winker surname can be traced primarily to the village of Spaichingen, Baden-Württemberg. Most Winker ancestors originated from this vicinity.
