Hi, I am new to the list. I am researching George Kiltz/Kilts. He settled in Wainfleet, Niagra, Ontario in 1802. On his petition for land he indicates he is from the Mohawk River. He originally settled in Humberstone, Ontario. The Canadian census indicates he was born in New York, and of German nationality. I estimate he may have been born in about 1780. He may have been married to a ? Brock. It is possible that this record from the IGI may actually be him: George Kiltz B: March 15, 1778, Lutheran Trinity Church of Stone Arabia, Palatine, Montgomery Co. New York. Father: Nickolaus Kiltz. I am looking for any suggestions on researching this family in New York. What type of records and information is available on this area? Are the records on film, or in book format? Are there any websites that have suggestions for researching this area? I would also like to find others who may be searching the same name. Thanks for your time, Peg Wisconsin
