Margaret, you taught me something... LOL I thought the Deux Pont troops were on the English side. Don't remember where I read it but some French Troops were on the English side.. NYC, well then you have to have a Genealogical Library in the City. And being NYC it has to have the full set of HETRINA. Call the City Library and ask them if there actually is a Genealogical Library... I know of quite a few Huston, TX; Auston Tx, Dallas,TX, Kansas State Genealogical Library, Virginia State Genealogical Library..... So NYC just has to have one. If not a seperate library then part of the City Library. N. Nelda http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/

Nelda, Margaret, There is a comprhensive genealogy section at the central NYC public Library at 42nd Street and 5th, the Milstein Division, and they have most everything available, regarding the Hessians. The catalog is online, and they have the HETRINA materials listed there. There are also a number of other resources in NYC for genealogy, including The New York Historicial Society, which has the original Riedesel War Papers (handwritten during the Amrev) and a microfilm of them - I found my Brunswicker in the Riedesel material, with quite a bit of info regarding his age, height, place of origin, religion, places and dates of desertion, marital status, height, etc. John Merz used to have a transcription of some or all of the Riedesel papers - he translated the parts that were difficult for me, and Bob Brooks later revised the estimated height numbers from 5'5" to 5'7", becase the old metric units, zolls and strichs, were of different values in the 18th century than today.
