I have just received the following information on what may be my gggggrandfather: Baptized 4 June 1723. Joannes Michaelis Gilig. Mathai Gilig Sartonis hu atis et Apolonia conjugum filius legitimus levante Thoma Muller reftano.

My gggggrandfather was born in Külsheim, Bavaria,Germany and migrated to the Banat country of Austria-Hungary (now in Romania). The above info came from sources in Külsheim.

First, I would appreciate if someone could translate this to English; secondly the 'Gilig' surname is different from the 'Gillich' surname I have from the village he settled in the Banat. Does anyone know, is there a relationship between these two surnames? Thanks.
