Hank Z. Jones did extensive research on the group of 3,000 Palatines that came to New York in 1710. His book 'The Palatine Families of New York' lists them as they appeared on Governor Hunter's Subsistence List. Christian appears as #160. His name is spelled in so many different ways in this very short paragraph. I will list them all here.
CHRISTIAN EIGLER
KRISTIAEN FIGELER
CHRISTIAN EGLER
CHRISTIAN EICHLER
His son was baptised in West Camp on April 8th 1711 and his name is spelled:
ANDREAS ELLIG
ANDREAS EGER
Andreas had a son and his name was spelled:
ANDREAS EKELAER
So you can see that in just 50 years we have numerous ways to find these ancestors and their descendants.
Wish me luck!
