David,
After traveling extensively in the Altenheim,Offenburg, & Baden regions of Germany and in Alsace I found that the original spelling was Rinckel for most of the family.My great grandfather spelled it Rinckel, one son changed his to Rinkel,and one changed his to Rinckle.I think many tried to Americanize the name.
Hope this helps.
