Singel, van, family
Van Singel (Singhel, Cingel, Singele), a former Dutch Mennonite family, found in the 16th -18th centuries at Amsterdam, where Pieter Jans van Singhel was a preacher of the Danzig Old Flemish congregation from 1619. In the 18th century members of this family lived at Utrecht, Alkmaar, and Leiden. Pieter van Cingel (Singele) was a preacher of the Frisian Mennonites at Alkmaar 1703-1748. The Mennonite van Cingel family of Scheemda, province of Groningen, most of whom were farmers and often deacons, was apparently not related to the above Amsterdam family.
