Migration of the Egere family
Thousands of German settlers came to North America between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries. The hardships of the long voyage were balanced by the opportunity to escape poverty and religious persecution. The descendents of these settlers still populate the states of Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many also live in Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Egere or a variant listed above: Bernard Eger, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1738. Emila Eger arrived in Charles Town, South Carolina in 1772; Jacob Eger arrived in Philadelphia in 1738.
