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.
