Please browse “The Henckel Family Association” website. Leave any comments you might have or ask any questions that we might answer for you about our “Association”.
Thanks for visiting, we look forward to learning about your side of the family and telling you about ours at an upcoming Reunion!
We have just completed our 2018 in Winchester, VA. We have just posted write-up and pictures of many of the historical activities enjoyed by all at the reunion.
We announced that our Reunion in 2019 will be in Frederick, Maryland where several of Anthony Jacob Henckels children settled after becoming adults. Frederick is a beautiful city filled with history from the 1700 and 1800’s.
We look forward to seeing you and your family at the 2019 Reunion. Please bring your children and grandchildren, they are never to young to learn about the history of the Henckel side their family!
If you are not a member of “The Henckel Family Association” please go to the Membership TAB and join the “Association”, so that you will get all the necessary information needed to attend the reunion in our November and March 2019 Newsletters. Your Henckel (Hinkle, Henkel, Henkle) cousins look forward to seeing you.
Just starting to gather the Hinckle information- Johann 6th gr- Gf. It’s overwhelming . Then I find that DAR has Flagged the family connection- Due to “only records are in a bible!” any help with the DAR here. Good luck with the Reunion- there must be hundreds of Henckles by now- So lots of fun to be had!
I look forward to learning more history of the family. Thank you for making this site available. I am moving from California to Alabama at this time. Would love to make it to the 2017 reunion.
Richard, It just keeps improving! Thank you!
Thank you for your comment, I look forward to seeing you and Pat at the Reunion in June. It is exciting, I just learned that several of our members are bringing their adult children and grand kids. We are too!!!

I am excited to learn of this reunion! I have been doing family research for awhile now and have traced our Hinkle (Henckel, Henkel, etc.) line back to 1500! I can’t make it this year as funds are tight but I will start saving up for the 300th!
My name is Gigi Parker Hudnall and my GG Grandfather, Nathan Allen Parker, married my GG Grandmother Amelia Hinkle, so that is how I am connected.
Gigi, I am so glad you found our website. I hope it has been useful. We look forward to meeting you at the Pennsylvania 300th Anniversary Celebration in June 2017!
Richard Henkel, President “The Henckel Family Association”
Thanks for all the news and future plans it helps in making it possible to save and attend knowing about the 300 is exciting….
Hello~
My name is Linda Henckel Moore, I was born (in 1952) and raised in Wheat Ridge, Co. Members of our family were baptized in the Lutheran faith.
I recently started looking into my fathers (George Albert Henckel’s) family from (Weimar) Germany. I’ve been told that my great-grand father, *Walter George Edward Henckel came to the United States (by himself) as a very young man, in the early 1900’s, to meet up with family on the east coast of the U S. I have no information on his immediate family… I do know he ended up in Galveston, Texas, met and married Margarete K S Freund (who came from Hamburg, Germany). Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Linda Henckel Moore
Clayton, NM
Linda: I would suggest that you go to Ancestry.com and put in the search engine the information you have provided and more if you have it. It is free for two weeks so you might find the information you are seeking there.
Thank you for the update! As a descendant living near Philadelphia, I am interested in hearing more about plans for the 2017 reunion.
I would suggest you join the Henckel Family Association, so that you will receive Newsletter on when and how to attend Family Reunion. Go to TAB membership for instructions on joining.
We plan events a year in advance, so planning will not begin until July 2016 for 2017 event.
