new Gavel info I found
After finding info from the Canadian census that showed John Gavel report that he was from Germany or of German decent I have gone on a pretty extensive search trying to find the location.Last night one of my searches paid off somewhat. The name Gavel popped up in 2 locations on a german database search. First location is from church records from 1698. It shows up in Monchengladen, Germany North Rhine - Westphalia region of western Germanyin the Roman Catholic church. The site is in German which I do not speak So I could not read everything just what I could get translated. The second hit was from 1705 where the name is found in the town of Barby, Germany in the Saxonia-Anhalt region in eastern Germany and the name is found in the records of the protestant church.I belive personally that John Gavel most likely was from the Monchengladen region due to its close proximity to Holland and most things so far that others have come up with that show his wife being from Holland. Both of these hits were only for the surname and have only been found in Germany.
