        09 May 1664 in Eggiwil, Canton Bern, Switzerland. Peter died in

        about 1740 in Uffhofen, Rhenish Hesse, Palatanate, Germany. Peter

        changes the spelling of his name when he moves to Germany because

        of their pronunciation of the word. His wife’s name is unknown but

        she was born in Erbesbudesheim, Rhenish Hesse, Palatinate, Germany.

** See New Research Page:  Peter was an illegitimate child and this may have been
     the reason that he left for Germany.  These children and their families were not 
     treated well.  Peter would go to Germany and start a new life.

                 Note: Peter's mother died when he was 14 and her husband sent him off to work and learn a weavers trade
   When Peter turned 21 he went to his real father, Hans Galli, trying to see if he could make a life there, however after
   one evening at their home he found his stepmother (Han's wife) did not want Peter around, so Peter left Switzerland
   and went to the Palatinate area of Germany to live with his aunt Barbli who had moved there with a Mennonite group 
  to escape persecution in Switzerland.
