The Ringo Family history series reflects the first written record of the Ringo family was in the town of Ghent, in now Belgium in 988AD the Ringo family is still in this area.
The Ringo's in America are descended from Philip Janszen Ringo, b.1615,Vlissengen ,Zeeland,Netherlands son of Jean (or John Ringo) He arrived in New Amsterdam in 1640. With over a 1000 years of history, it should not be surprising to find other Ringo's arriving in America after 1640 from other countries. There are Italian Ringo's in southern NJ, South African Ringo's in CT. Jim Ringo< Jensen Beach, Fl
