Hi Bill, I'm not ignoring you... That was a good bit of information you just sent.. but due to my not having much knowledge on the subject of Hessians, I try to be just the list manager and let the people with some knowledge answer the question or make comments. Thank you Nelda LM Pax et bonum! Nelda L. Percival nee Gilpin http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gillock/ http://doodleartgraphics.com
