Stephen, Thank you for your kind offer. If you have time could you please look up the Charles or the C. Konkel? My husbands gg grandfather was Creighton Konkle, and I believe his father was either the Charles or the C. from Sussex Co, NJ. If there is any refrence to Creighton I'd like that as well. Also if there is any mention of whom Charles parents were. Thank you so much in advance. I really appreciate your generosity.

Hi Elizabeth- Re: Fissel's Cemetery. My ancestor Lorentz Klinefelter was buried at Fissel's in 1830. The cemetery and church are located just west of Shrewsbury and just south of Glen Rock in York Co. John Kruse

Hi all, I wanted to let you all know that I have recently acquired an index for my "History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey ..." by James P. Snell (1881). There are references for these KONKELs: C. Charles I. R. Isaac R. John John C. John R. Samuel J. I renew my offer to do some lookups for anyone who believes they may have ties to New Jersey (or North Eastern PA - as many residents of Sussex and Warren Counties moved to PA and visa versa.) I have been trying to do lookups without the index (which has been difficult since it is over 700 pages of text). Now it should be a bit easier. -Stephen Emery [email protected] On Sun, 19 Jul 1998 [email protected] wrote: [NON-Text Body part not included] ***************************************************************************** Stephen Emery Researching my ancestors University of Louisville Family names: Emery, Garris, Hektor, Louis D.

Hello Will-- I'll jump in on Flohrsbach! It's about 50 km east of Frankfurt on Highway 276. Other nearby towns (villages) associated with the Kunkel's are Lohrhaupten and Kempfenbrunn. John Kruse

Hi Bob Thanks so much for getting back to me. Yes, I did have some creative spelling. Creativity in spelling makes genealogy so much more interesting. Thanks for letting me know about Sebastian. I am also decended from Sebastian Kunkel who married Anna Catharina through their daughter Eva Elizabeth. I assume this is the Sebastian who is a brother of Nicholas. I appreciate the update on the information. Wally was my source for information; although I realize his focus was primarily in America. Has anyone else compiled the earlier information? I see that I have also developed a different spelling for Schuster. Is it Schuster of Shuster? Best Wishes Will Lyles Will, I saw your post and thought that I would respond. By the way, that is the first that I have seen that spelling of KUNKEL. (subject line???? *smile*) You forgot to mention Sebastian. Your ancestor Nicolaus (b.1677) was a brother to my ancestor Sebastian. Most all of the early work was not from the late Wally KUNKEL though he had contributed some. You and I also have SHUSTER in common. I can't say that we met before Will. I am always glad to meet a new cousin. Regards, Bob KUNKEL, Genealogist Schuylkill County, PA

Hi Bob and fellow Kunkle rooters, I saw your posting on the email list; have we spoke before? I am a descendant of a (Johann) Sebastian Kunkel (1674 PRU - 1737 PRU), married to Anna SAMER (1677-1743). Then, as follows: son, Hans Johannes (1709-aft 1771); son, Johann Michael (1743 GER - 1796 PA); son, Michael (1779-1866 PA); daughter, Jane Kunkle (1825-?, Westmoreland Co, PA); son, Daniel FISHELL (1855-aft 1920 PA); dau, Minnie Pearl Fishell (1886-1962 Ligonier, PA). Minnie Pearl was my great-grandmother. If anything sounds familiar, please let me know! Thanks, Elizabeth Fleming San Francisco, CA P.S. to WILL: I am interested in your reference (below) to the Fissel Cemetary in York Co, PA, as that is the early name of my FISHELLS who later lived in Westmoreland County. Does anyone know of this cemetary and have any info about it? Thanks for your help! Will wrote: > 4.

Hi Contact Curtis Conkle, Grapevine, TX n of Dallas - he has a prodigy address - unfortunately I can't locate it at the moment - will send it to you later - his family, descended from James Cornelius Conkle, my mother's uncle, moved to Texas in early 1900's. I don't know if you are connected to these families or not. Jo Wilkes

Recently, I found out that my KUNKLE line was originally from BREITENBORN. I couldn't find it on a German map, so I did a search on the internet. What came up was a website for a family named Gobels. The site had pictures of the glass factory in Breitenborn. Even though the Gobels weren't related to the Kunkels, I wrote asking for the exact location of Breitenborn. I mentioned in passing that I was researching the Kunkel family. Well, he wrote me back this morning with a lot of information on the Kunkle family back in Breitenborn, and I want to pass it on. But before I do that, I ask for some help. My gggg grandmother was probably Anna Marie Barbara KUNKEL, wife of John BIXLER. THey married in 1796, most likely in YORK County, PA. Her father was Balzar KUNKEL. If anyone has any information, I would really appreciate it. John and Anna Marie went to VIRGINIA where they had many kids, including my ggg grandmother Sarah Bixler who was born in 1808. Sarah married John RAKER in 1830, most likely in Fairfield County, Ohio. THey then moved on to Fulton County, Ohio, where she died in 1842. Anyway, I'm having trouble confirming that Sarah Bixler was Anne Marie Barbara Kunkel's daughter, and then following on up the line. I'd love some help. It is appearing possible that Anna Maria was the daugther of John Balthazar Kunkel, b. Sept 25, 1742 in York County in PA, and died Aug. 23, 1812. He was the wife of maria Barbara SCHNEIDER and the son of Gottlieb and Christina Barbara Kunkel. Kelly Chaves OK, here's the information on the glassmeisters in Breitenborn: Kunkel is a well-known name, being an old glass-blowers-family in Hessen(Germany). In "Die Spessart-Ordnung von 1406" (Spessart-arrangements of the year 1406) concerning the rules for glass-blowers Fritz Kunkel and Eberhart Kunkel are already mentioned. In 1574 Franz Kunkel was appointed to glasmeister (Glass-master) in Gottorp(?) by Count Adolf von Schleswig-Holstein. His son is mentioned working in a glassfactory in Rendsburg near Hamburg. His grandson, Johann Kunckel von Löwenstein, was born 1630 in Rendsburg and was enobled in Sweden. He was working in the glassfactory "Pfaueninsel" near Potsdam. Around 1653 the glassmaster Nicolas Kunkel moves from Lich (North-east of Frankfurt) to Breitenborn. On the payroll of 1655 of the factory in Breitenborn Henrich Konkel is mentioned. Later a Nicolas Kunkel is mentioned as Glassmaster together with Johann Heinrich Gundelach from Laubach and his father-in-law Heinrich Lissmann. In 1630 Nickel Kunkel is mentioned in Laubach. It is not known for save, he is identical with the Nicolas Kunkel mentioned in Breitenborn. The above is what I know about the Kunkel-family. If you have any more information on the glassmakers-industry in Breitenborn, I am very interested in this. Wim and Joke Göebel,IJsselstein, The Netherlands.

Hi folks, I apologize to everyone for seeming to have abandoned this list but I am moving into a new office at work & everything is so hectic. This will eventually be a good thing, as my office at home will be dedicated to the Spindle. Thanks for bearing with me. I'm forwarding the following, on the York Co PA line.

We have some KUNEFKE's that are in Texas and some in Mississippi. They all came from Germany. But we can't figure out just when. The earliest we have is William Paul Kunefke. He is supposedly the one who came from Germany. Can any help me with more information on this line? Thank you. MoBears
