My grandfather was Christian Carl Gillig born July 7,1875, his father was Johann Gillig born 1829 in Bavaria Germany, his mother was Frederica (I don't have her last name) she was born June 1842 in Swatzburg Germany. Christian lived in Victoria Texas but I do not know whether he was born there or not. He married Emma Hagadorn and they had 5 sons and 3 daughters. I do know that his oldest son Leonard Carl was born in 1907 and they lived and farmed in Victoria county at that time. Christian died June 7 1969.
