Neuhutten, Germany. Recorded in the I. G. I. Index, issue 1992 at
the LDS Library, SLC, Utah Hans KUNKEL and Anna Catharina WOLFGANG were married
in 1554 in Glasshouse, Neuhutten, Germany. The original family name
in Germany was spelled "Kunkel" as verified consistently by the Kempfenbrunn
Church Records. Once they arrived in this county, it was usually recorded by
officials who were probably all Englishmen and was quickly Anglicized with many
variations. Keeping in mind that our German ancestors could not sign their own
name, and variations would be expected. Often the ships captain spelled it Kungel
and in the court house in Philadelphia, PA, it was spelled Cunkel when they took
his Oath. The Anglicizing from "el" to "le" was not consistent.
It varied from family to family and person to person within the same family.
The major variations that has been followed in this KUNKEL book, is "Conkel/le,
Cunkel/le, Gunckel, Gunkel/le, Konkel/le, and Kunkel/le."
