Note for:   Paul Lingel,    -          Index

---

Individual Note:
     Paul Lingel, the patriarch of the Lingel family, was on the 'St. Andrew' in 1737. Johan Nicholas Luengel (Lüngel) was born Feb 1, 1743 and baptized at Little Tulpehocken Church in Berks County. Martin Lingel, Nicholas's brother, also had a wife named Elizabeth, so an extra ounce of care is necessary when researching this family.

As of the time of writing, no children have been identified as belonging to Nicholas and Elizabeth. The following is an abstract of Nicholas' father's will.
