Notes for Hans Jacob Kunkel:
Hans Jacob Kunkel, listed in church records as a Carpenter, and a Juror of Flörsbach. This town is located approximately 30 miles east of Frankfurt, AM, Germany. A map was reprinted in the SPINDLE newsletter that shows the town of Flörsbach, Germany, just east of Frankfurt. Volume II, No. 3, July 1996, page 67.
These Family records were researched by Heinrich P. Göbel, of Steingarten--3, D63584, Grundau - Breitenborn, Germany, in 1994, in the Parish register in Kempfenbrunn, Germany, and in the church records of Lohrhaupten Evangelical church. Paid for by the compiler of these records, James Erwin Kunkle, Denver, Colorado.
From a Germany researcher, 'Heinrich P. Göbel', a historian and genealogist in Grundau-Breitenborn, Germany, reports that he has found records going back to the middle 1300's showing Kunkel families that lived in the Spessart Mountain area. The Kunkel family were one of the oldest known glass-making families in this area. From Göbel reports that during the 30 year war (1618 - 1648) the country and people practically died out. The only Kunkel records found prior to 1600 was all centered about 30 miles North, East and South of Frankfort, Germany, and back to the middle 1300's. Many church records in most places were not started again until the 1650's. (Notes: Wording from Christina Hoffman and Bob Rowland - December 2000).
