I checked my CD's for your BACH and came up blank. I also checked Ancestry.com, where I had one hit: Found in Biography & Genealogy Master Index (BGMI) from Ancestry.com. 48623 Bach, Johann Egidius 1645-1716 Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians. Sixth edition. Revised by Nicolas Slonimsky. New York: Schirmer Books; London: Collier Macmillan Publishers, 1978. (BakBD 78) If you check the message boards at Ancestry.com, there are 4 messages posted by 3 individuals. Perhaps that will help further your search. Wish I could have been of more help.

I signed up for the Castle Garden list but am not sure how to request a look up. I am searching for Egidius Bach who sailed from Antwerp, and arrived in NY about Oct. 1, 1850. His naturalization said he was from Luxemborg and he listed himself as German or French through the years. NARA searched and I have searched everything I could find without locating him. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Florence
