Our GALLE Line of Käfertal, Germany

Our Galles are descendants of Swiss Mennonites who arrived in the Palatinate around 1670. The first emigrant was Peter Galli who settled in Erbesbüdesheim. I am grateful to Harry Galley for information on Peter Galli and his descendants. Click  here for some background on Peter and some of his descendants.

Peter Galli, Swiss Mennonite

The first Galle in Käfertal was Johann Peter, listed in the church books as a Mennonite. I'm still searching for the connection back to Peter Galli and am confident this will eventually be established. New information shows that our Johann Peter is probably a descendant of Peter Galli's son Johann of Sembach.

I have done extensive research in the church books of the evangelical Lutheran church in Käfertal to recreate a listing of Johann Peter's descendants.  His only son, Daniel, is the direct ancestor of all present-day Galles in Käfertal. Today Käfertal is a part of Mannheim, Germany.
