My ancestors came from the towns of Niedergeckler and Brimingen in the Eifel in the 17th and 18th Century. Before I became a genealogy lunatic, I was a collector of old coins. Now I am wondering what kind of money my ancestors used. I assume their coins were from the Austrian (or Spanish) Netherlands. But I have also seen coins in dealers' stores from Luxembourg and the Bishopric of Trier. The Eifel is so close to so many historical crossroads that the political geography gets a bit confusing. Can anyone help? Jim Ross
