This work investigates the lineage and migration patterns of the Gailliot family, tracing their origins from Wesel, Germany, to their establishment in the United States. The author, Robert Charles Kramp, utilizes genealogical records and historical correspondence to document the descendants of Anton Gailliot. The text serves as a primary reference for identifying the progenitors of the Gaillot-named individuals currently residing in America, specifically focusing on the branches that settled in Virginia and Pennsylvania.

This text functions as a specialized genealogical reference, providing a focused look at a specific immigrant family line. The material is intended for researchers and family members seeking documented lineage data rather than a general historical narrative.
