Biography

Johan Kunkel has German Roots.

Johann Jurg was born about 1565. Johann Jurg Kunkle ... He passed away about 1640. ^[1]

{Please note: German naming policy at the time was to provide only one given name. If there are two names the first was a "Christian name" given at the time of baptism. What is now considered the "middle name" is the actual given name. In southern Germany all boys in a family were often given the same Christian name, Johan(n). This is not to be confused with Johannes, which was a given name and equivalent to John. There has been much confusion on this as many have not maintained the German names as originally found, assuming the two forms were equivalent and = John.}

Research Notes:

The Kunkel family, up to today, are still primarily concentrated in the area of the Spessart Mountain range, a largely wooded area in the heart of Germany. Existence of an early Glass house in the Spessart area was mentioned in a document dated 22 August 1349. The area was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Mainz. The Union Letter (Bundesbrief) of 1537 lists two KUNKEL's, namely Jurge (George) and Hentze Kunkel, and in a later revision dated 24 February 1559, again two Kunkel's - George and Friedrich Kunkel. It is evident that there are links, as the Glass making was only carried down in the same families. This earliest known generation has only one mentioning of this earliest known family that was put together from the Parish register records received from a researcher in Germany, and combined with the data on the I.G.I. Index at the LDS Library in SLC, Utah, and the earliest records on file at the LDS Library on this Germany family.

[The list leaves out the people mentioned in the alphabetical register of Bursfelde who have not been initially involved with glasshouses.]

Note that the earliest names do not even have surnames.

Note

Note: The Kunkel family, up to today, are still primarily concentrated in the area of the Spessart Mountain range, a largely wooded area in the heart of Germany. Existence of an early Glass house in the Spessart area was mentioned in a document dated 22 August 1349. The area was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Mainz.

The Union Letter (Bundesbrief) of 1537 lists two KUNKEL's, namely Jurge (George) and Hentze Kunkel, and in a later revision dated 24 February 1559, again two KUNKEL's - George and Friedrich Kunkel.

It is evident that there are links, as the Glass making was only carried down in the same families. This earliest known generation has only one mentioning of this earliest known family that was put together from the Parish register records received from a researcher in Germany, and combined with the data on the I.G.I. Index at the LDS Library in SLC, Utah, and the earliest records on file at the LDS Library on this Germany family.

Much research is still needed to fill out all the missing information, however I have been told that Genealogy Records beyond this point is next to impossible to find, due to all the Wars that took place in this country. The "Thirty Years War (1618-1648) destroyed many Church records throughout Germany. So many records has been destroyed, and to find a cemetery with head stones that can be read, after 500 years has gone by, I'd feel that it would be impossible to find anything.

The first two generations of this book, I have recorded these Kunkel family members, because the records out of Germany said they were family, and the records out of the LDS Library said they were family, and they all lived and died in the same place, so I feel that these families should also be listed in this book of KUNKEL records, along with their descendants that are much better recorded with dates and locations. (JEK - 2000)

The KUNKEL surname means distaff. A staff on which fibers such as flax or wool are wound before being spun into thread.

As you study the descendants of of these families, you will find that there were many intermarriages, which were rather common. Men had limited ways to meet eligible mates, and usually could not go farther than they could walk or ride horseback to court. When there were family get-togethers they met women who just happened to be related in one way or another.
