Hello:
I am wondering if other researchers have found women with the first name of
"Engel ?" Is this a common-German-first-name?
According to baptismal records for the issue of Johannes Zimmerman (John The
Elder) at St. Jacob (Stone Church in Codorus Twp. York Co. PA, the mother's
name is listed either as "Elizabetha" or "Engel Elizabetha." No
record
has been found of an Elizabetha Engle, therefore I am considering that her
first name may actually have been Engel?
Any help or speculation would be appreciated.
