| The ancestral German home of the Mohawk Valley, New York DYGERT/DEICHERT/DEUCHERT family was 6451 Hüttengesäß,(Huettengesaess)(27 km.e.of FRANKFURT). This area is called the Palatinate,which was the garden spot of Germany.However,the Thirty Year's War and the Wars of King Louis XIV had ravaged and desolated the Palatinate of the Rhine.Famine and pestilence was prevalent.In 1708 and 1709 30,000 Palatines left the valley of the Rhine and migrated to London,England where Queen Anne had invited"the distressed Protestants of Germany" to make homes in her American Colonies.WERNER DYGERT b.1662 came to America in 1710.His father was HANS DEICHERT b. 1637 d.
