occupation:

records and documents:
Known from Stieglitz church records and Hermann Sterz's marriage certificates.

additional information:
M. Moritz Sterz's wife's maiden name is consistently listed as "Justine Badtke" in the Stieglitz church records. (Although her surname is spelled "Badke" in the earlier records.) Hermann Sterz's Wisconsin marriage certificate (for his marriage to Ida Noack), though, says "Christine Radtke". But his Illinois marriage certificate, for his first marriage, lists his mother's maiden name says as "Justine Badke". Apparently, the Dane County Clerk, or someone there, misunderstood.

Stieglitz was a village in Posen, Prussia (now in Poland).

The list of children may be incomplete, because the church records from 1856 and thereafter are unavailable.
