On the name "Kinkley"
Most Kinkleys in North America are descended from people in southern Germany originally named Kinkele. There are other spellings, too.About ten years ago a German town functionary named Kinkele convened a world reunion of Kinkeles/Kinkleys and a bunch of other spellings (they have migrated as far east as Finland). Unfortunately, no one in my family reads German any more, and we lost the notice. Of course, this may be completely irrelevant to your own search.Spellings do change.
Good luck,
Jeff Kinkley
