I have been trying for years to do research on my Ilgen family, looking to see if there might be anyone who has researched them or is researching them I may be able to share info with.
My Ilgen family came to America in about 1842, settled in Carroll Co., MD, The father's went by the name Samuel and the mother was Margaret (Feltman) Ilgen, some of the sons changed the last name to Elgen and some others changed to Elgin. From MD, some of the sons moved to IL, which is where my Elgins' are from...Anyone who may be able to assist would be greatly appreciated. Willing to swap info.
