It is possible, but I have Georg Pausch's diary where he lists all the men on his roster, and nobody's name is even close to what you're looking for. There is another possibility--all of the German units would have had servants along for the officers. Not being soldiers, these men are not listed by name, so I don't know where you might find information on them. -----Original Message----- >From: Adam Call Roberts <[email protected]> >Sent: Dec 20, 2011 12:48 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [AMREV-HESSIANS] "Tiffnaner" Surname > >Jack, thanks for the info.
