Notes for Dr. Bernhard Joseph MÖNNIG
Most likely grew up in Bakum and nearby Essen, rural towns in the Duchy of Oldenberg, at the time of Napoleon. He studied medicine at the University of Duisberg, receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1812. His graduation certificate is in the possession of the German Monnig family (or was in 1980). After graduation, Bernhard settled in Rees, a town on the Rhine about 10 km from the Dutch border. He married Henriette Stuckman, the daughter of a wealthy textile manufacturer form Elberfeld. His family was Catholic, hers Lutheran, so following tradition, they raised the boys Catholic and the girls Lutheran. There were 7 children (5 boys, 2 girls), but nothing is known of the descendants of the daughters and the eldest son Robert died at 21. All Monnigs known thus descend from Bernhard and Henriette.
