Suzy, thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.
My name is Jean-Jacques Pringels and I am living in Belgium. I can send you a copy of the family tree I have. I have taken a Y-DNA test with FamilyTree DNA, and my haplogroup is R-FTA91663 (belonging to the haplogroup R-M269). This demonstrates my Scottish ancestry, since I have a 100% matching back at the 24th generation. One of my uncles (now deceased) has done genealogical research and found out that my ancestor arrived in Belgium in the late 17th century. His name was Johannes (translation of John) (Hibernicus : meaning "coming from Ireland" in Latin) Pringel, born around 1670 . He got married in Belgium in 1695 with Anne De Palmeire. Their son Guillaume (French translation of William in English and Guilhelmus in Latin) Pringel had children with the surname Pringels that remained unchanged afterwards. Thanks to the oldest genealogical information I have, I can say that the surname "Pringel" was probably a spelling change due to the Belgian administration, which spelled it according to the French pronunciation. Johannes Pringel, Hibernicus seems to have come to Belgium from Ireland. Thorough genealogical research made in Ireland led to Pringle families coming from Scotland, settled in Ireland during or after the colonisation organised by King James I of England after 1608. Following to my uncle's genealogical research, the families to which Johannes Pringel, Hibernicus belonged might thus be the following : - William Pringle, who was naturalised Irish on 1617 and was a descendant of the Pringle of Torwoodlee (Scotland) (William Pringle of Colligarrie was the son of William Pringle of Torwoodlee and Alison Heriot)- Thomas Pringle living in the Armagh county in Ulster in 1622- Henry Pringle living in the Down county and wrote his last will in 1677- Robert Pringle of Tandragee (1632)- James Pringle, tenant of Lord Grandison's domain in 1630 Moreover, currently I don't know if my ancestor John (Johannes) Pringel was born in Ireland or if he was born in Scotland and moved to Ireland and then to Belgium.
I visited the Borders Family History Society in Galashiels - Scotland a few weeks ago, and I met there a volunteer who did research for me in order to try finding a "John Pringle" born in 1670 in the Borders Region. She found someone : John Pringle baptised in 1671 (12/01/1671 - Stow , Midlothian), his father could be "Robert Pringle" born 18/02/1644 - Stow, Midlothian. Since John (Johannes) Pringel came to Belgium and died in 1732 in a town named Zaffelaer-Lokeren in Belgium (I have a death certificate), it is very likely that there is no death certificate in Scotland and Ireland. If no death certificate can be found for John Pringle baptised in 1671 (12/01/1671 - Stow , Midlothian) it would mean that he is my possible ancestor. If it was the case his father Robert Pringle (born 18/02/1644 - Stow, Midlothian) would allow to move higher in the family tree and fill in the gap. Of course, if the above case is not the right hypothesis, the same approach can be used with other persons named "John Pringle" born around 1670 in Ireland or Scotland. The genealogical research performed to date does not allow to know from which of the above branches of the Pringle family do the Pringels of Belgium come. Can I ask you if you have information that can be relevant to help me identify who is John Hibernicus Pringel and his family ? I am looking forward to hearing from you soon and I will gladly reply to your questions if any.
Best regards,
Jean-Jacques Pringels

Thank you for updating Donald Campbell’s profile. I like the concise method you use for appending sources. They are much better than my long winded version. So once again THANKS Roy

They dont do ScotlandsPeople sources unfortunately my sources from there has taken me a few attempts to get to a semblance of a decent source - but I like the way they present feel free to use the same format - if you need any help dont hesitate to ask.
Here's your sticker code for the January 2022 connect a thon. Just add the curly brackets {{ }} on the ends: Connect-a-Thon|team=The Twisted Thistles|year=2022|profiles=232|extra=Thanks for participating in the January thon!

I noticed that you used the Challenge Tracker to track changes during last month's Sourcerers' Challenge. Please consider officially joining us for the Sourcerers' Challenge. You can find information, including how to join, on the Sourcerers Project page. To get directly to the current G2G thread, here's the January 2022 Challenge thread.
No pressure, every profile with a source makes our WikiTree better. Your work will continue to be included on the Tracking Sheet even if you do not register.
Your work is appreciated. Thanks for sourcing!

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. The DNA Help page will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions or problems, let me know.
Take care,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The England Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Have questions? Ask in the comments section of my profile.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
Ginny ~ Pre-1700 Greeter
Thank you for the greeting :) I have had a few pre 1700s on my tree for a while but I havent logged on her for a long time so a few things have changed I dont think I remember the pre-1700 quiz from last time but its a very good idea. I have a few in Scotland and England so will have a wee look around the various projects I do sometimes find it a bit awkward finding my way around this site but I get there in the end haha. Suzy
