Hello, I am researching the GILKEN (GILKIN) family from Aston, Delaware co. Henry GILKEN was born abt 1817 in Germany & married Elizabeth born abt 1821 in England, I believe they married abt 1842 in Phila. They had Henry 1855, Mary E 1859 and George 1862. Henry was a tailor and he is not listed in the 1870 census. So if skp could please tell me where to look or send for records I would be very grateful. Thank you Kathy list "mom' for Blinn-L, Brauch-L, Clapper, Figiel-L, Germans-IN-HuntingtonCo-L, Germans-to-Phila-L, Germans-OH-Starkco-L, Hamby-L, Hofmann-L, Holsinger-L, Huther-L, Laughran-L, Loose-L, Paszotta-L, Riley-L, Rupsis-L, Schumacher-L, Sibel-L, Soyster-L, Troop-L, Vollmer-L, Wedler-L, Wherity-L homepage http://community.webtv.net/kathy556/DoughertyGordonBaer http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/m/Kathryn-R-Hamby-PA/index.html

Hello Kathy, I've been searching the Gilkin/Gilken family also. I'd be happy to share the information I have with you. Which one of Henry's children is your ancestor?
