I don't know. There were Dunkles who married into our Conkle family of Washington Co PA. At least their names were on the Reunion Lists for mid 1900s. Sometimes funny things happen to names. Our John and Henry Conkle are found on the 1790 Census of their area in Washington Co Pa, listed as "Runkle". Janet At 06:06 PM 03/27/1998 -0800, you wrote: > >I have a friend searching DUNKLE.

Dear Deb, I don't know whether our two families could be related. The similarities are almost eery, though. I'm going on the theory for now, at least, that the progenitor of our family in America, Conrad, also came from the same general area in Germany as your family. They also had to have come at about the same time. The first evidence I have of his presence here is when his eldest child, Frederick, was born in Clinton, OH. They moved to southern Illinois, in the St. Louis area (Bellville) just two or three years later. My g-grandfather's name was also Henry (Henry Conrad), and while he was not born in Germany, one of his brothers was named John. What makes it even more eery to me though, is the fact that one of my grandfather's sisters married a Schaefer, from Missouri. The similarities between our two lines appear intriguing to me, and would enjoy hearing more from you. In the meantime, I would like to invite you to visit my web-site at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/k/u/n/Ronald-E- Kunkel. Best of luck in your search for your roots. Sincerely, Ron Kunkel

Dear Tracy, I can't see how this name could possibly be related to our own. Kunkel, as you probably know, is an archaic term for "womankind." This probably came from its original meaning of "distaff," which also means "womankind" in English, but also refers to part of a spinning wheel. I expect you already know about the Kunkel, etc. newsletter named "Spindle," after that part of the spinning wheel. Dunkle, on the otherhand, looks like what I would consider a misspelling, or Americanization, of the German word dunkel, which means dark. The etymologys of the two words just look way too far apart to have been of the same origin. The sound of the two words also have no real similarity. I suspect you are thinking of the spelling of Gunkel. In English, this spelling appears to be about as far (close) to the primary spelling of the name, Kunkel, as the name Dunkel. In English, there is about as big a difference in the pronunciation of the g, as there is of d. In German, however, the two letters g and k are very close, while d is not. I hope you're not disappointed, but I can't see any way the two could possibly be "related." Where does your family come from? My own is based in southern Illinois. Lately, it has been spreading out to Kentucky, as well as Missouri and Indiana. The first "Native American" was born in Clinton, OH, then was moved to southern Illinois by the time he was three. Well, best of luck in looking for your roots. Sincerely, Ron Kunkel

Howdy cousins, I have a friend searching DUNKLE. Would that name be part of our "family"? Neither of us were sure. Can anyone tell me yeah, or nay? Also just a not to let everyone know that the "Totem Tracers" are re-organizing in Kenai, Alaska and are doing research requests if anyone is interested or needs information on people from the Kenai Penisula. (South of Anchorage). The mailing address is: Totem Tracers 163 Main Street Loop Kenai, AK 99611 Tracy Konkle Miller Kasilof, Alaska

I have accessed the records and they are terrific. I found one Conkle, one Gunkle, 3 Kunkles, 2 Kunklemans, and one Konkle.

I have noticed many Konkle family members mentioned in the History of Warren/Sussex Counties by Snell. Is there anyone who has ancestors from this area who might be interested in a lookup? I would be glad to help as most of my family is from this area circa 1700 - 1900. -Stephen

CUNKEL, KUNKLE, ZULAUF, SULOUFF I just subscribed to this list and would like to correspond with anyone interested in the CUNKEL, KUNKLE, KUNKEL, etc. surname in Harrisburg or Juniata Co. PA in the 1800s. John C. CUNKEL/KUNKLE was married before 1820 to Mary ZULAUF/SULOUFF (b. 2/__/1785 d. 10/29/1828) of Milford Twp, Mifflin (now Juniata) County, PA. Mary's gravestone has her husband's name as "John Cunkel, Esq." Their oldest child, who had reached age 21 before 23 Aug 1841, signed his name as "John C. KUNKLE, Jr." At that date three younger children were in the "guardianship" of Mary's husband, now a widower, who signed his name "John C. KUNKEL." I have copy of a letter dated 6 Jan 1899 stating "John CUNKLE, Jr.", son of Mary nee SULOUFF, was "born and raised" in Harrisburg PA. I have much info to share on Mary ZULAUF/SULOUFF and would like to exchange for more info on her husband's family and the descendants of their four children. Primary focus is in Harrisburg area beginning about 1820 or earlier. Will anyone knowing of a Cunkel, Kunkel, etc. born and raised in Harrisburg PA in the mid 1800s please contact me. Nelson R.
