  1. From the ancestry of Allen Richmond:
    Vegl in the Pfalz, Deutschland
    James Green's search for Vegl, Pfalz

    I believe Pfalz to be Palatinate in the sense used by the English in America in the 1700s meaning "free state" & in this context any of the German speaking Rhine valley states. Any of the following Vogels & Vogles in Alsace, Pfalz (LPW), Switzerland, & Baden, could be it. Here is as close to Vegl as I could find in the Rhine Valley:

    Times Atlas of the World
    Veggli, Norway
    Veghel, Netherlands
    Veglie, Italy
    Vogel, New Guinea
    Vogelkar-Spitze Mt. Austria
    Vogelsberg mts W. Germany
    Vogelwaarde, Netherlands
    
    Charles Hall Vol. I 
    Vogt, Baden-Wuerttemberg
    Vogelbach, M�llheim Landkreis, L�rrach Amtsbezirk, Baden (p.128)
    
    Charles Hall Vol. II 
    Part A Hessen
    Vockelsbach, Hesse (Part A, p.70)
    Part B Pfalz
    Vogelbach, Kaiserslautern Landkreis, Rhineland-Pfalz (Part B, p.74) <- In Pfalz, so best match?
    
    Charles Hall Vol. IV
    Volklingen, Saar p.25
    Voglegrun, Colmar Arrondissement, Haut-Rhin Dept., Alsace (p.80)
    Volgelsheim, Colmar Arrondissement, Haut-Rhin Dept., Alsace (p.80)
    Vogelisegg, St. Gallen Canton, Switzerland (p.166)
    Vogelsang, Aargau Canton, Switzerland (p.166)
    Vogelsang, Bern Canton, Switzerland (p.166)
    Page numbers in parentheses above, refer to the page in index, not the page of the maps.

    When Elisabeth Kelianin is found in the records of one of these parishes & not in the others, then I suppose that parish will be proven. These are generally called communities by Charles Hall.


  2. From the ancestry of Graeme Archer:
    Phillipsburg, Baden, Germany or Bodriluck/Dobriluck or Schweidnitz,Prussia
  3. From the ancestry of Claire McCarty Kilian's husband:
    Jordansmuehl,Silesia (Jordanow Slaski,Poland)
  4. From the ancestry of Mike Ferris:
    Vidsurican, Germany.
  5. Wayne Milam:
    in an html bounce of 18 Jan 1999 told the following (& then posted it successfully to the list 21 Jan 1999.)
    From the book "Eighteenth Century Emigrants From German Speaking
    Lands To North America", by Annette Burger, page 199.
    
    From Ittlingen Lutheran KB church in Ittlingen, Germany which is in the 
    Northern Kraichgau.  Johannes Kilian and Maria Elisabeth had son Johann 
    Michael born 12 Sept. 1732. Communicant's list dated 1749 of persons 
    leaving for Pennsylvania: Johann Michael Kilian single
    Michael Kilian was transported on the ship Dragon which landed in 
    Pennsylvania in 1749. He was 17 years old.
    
    Records of the Trinity Luthern Church in Lancaster County,Pennsylvania show 
    Michael and Anna Gertraud Kilian had daughter Maria Margaret born 10 Jan.
    1758.
    
    
    Is there anyone else subscribed that has a town of origin in the Germany nations for their Kilian ancestors?
