Spellingvariant: Israel Fransz van Halmael.
Israel Fransen van Halmael, zoon van Francois Gaspardsz van Halmael en Margaretha de Vlamingh van Oudtshoorn, werd geboren rond 1570 in Wezel, Duitsland en overleed rond 1645 in Rotterdam. Hij was diaken in de Oud Vlaamse gemeente te Rotterdam. Later werd hij ook vermaner binnen deze doopsgezinde gemeente, totdat hij aftrad in 1645.
Hij (= de schilder Huybert Tons Jansz) is echter gestorven vóór 25 Juli 1622, want op dien datum werden Israel van Halmael, lakenkooper, en Pieter Willems Muyshoudt, hoedemaker, aangesteld tot voogden over de twee kinderen, welke bij zijn overlijden in leven waren.
The van Halmael family, now extinct, was in the 17th-19th centuries found among the members of the Mennonite churches both Lam and Zon, at Amsterdam, where they were mostly engaged in banking. Francois van Halmael (Halmale), b. about 1530, a descendant of an old family, emigrated from Belgium. He was a soldier and was active during the capture of Brielle, Holland, in 1572. In his old age he joined the Mennonite Church, retired from all political and military business, and resided at Wesel on the Rhine, Germany. Of his children, who were cloth-merchants, five moved to Holland, Israel van Halmael to Rotterdam, where he became a preacher of the Flemish congregation until he resigned in 1645 at an old age.
He is married to Michieltje Adolphs Maesse.
