Re: Yingling - PA, MD, IL, & Civil War
I'm not Kimberly, but.. When the name cam to the US it was properly spelled Jungling (umlaut over the u). Through poor ear to hand skills of the immigration folks of the time, improper spelling by census takers and various 'americanization' efforts since then the spelling has diverged in several different ways. All that to say, one of the ways the original Jungling has evolved is England. So yes, your England could be Yingling.
