Saylor DNA Project
Administered by  Stewart Saylor

My Main Saylor Page

The purpose of this page
is to collect material of the original emigrants - Seiler, Seyler, etc - who arrived in America before 1800. Below are links to my notes from various books. It is in support of the Saylor DNA Project administered by Stewart Saylor.

The German/Swiss authorities were concerned about the large number of emigrants leaving for America. Restrictions and taxes were created to discourage emigration and many of the European records have survived about these emigrants. These, matched with the ship lists of Philadelphia and other early American records can, in a few lucky cases, give a continuous record of a settling family. DNA is one way for many of us to connect into these records.


American records of arrivals in America.

European records of people leaving the Palatine area of Germany and Switzerland for America.
Selected families that know their European roots.
          This is just a start. Contact me if you descend from any of the above or have information to add to this list.
