Where can I find information on the history of the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regiment? Also places they went and battles they were in. Thanks very much. Ben

Hi Ben, Have you searched the archives for the list? I'm sure you will find several emails about that Regiment.. Nelda LM Nelda L. Percival nee Gilpin, IBSSG Beatty #005 & #10; Graves #231 & #105 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gillock/ http://www.doodleartgraphics.com/

Ben: There are a couple of ways to find this information. The first is to just do a Google search for Ansbach Bayreuth. This will lead you of Jochen Seidel's website on these regiments. You will also find Bruce Burgoyne's translation of Johann Conrad Doehla's diary (titled on Amazon.com as A Hessian Diary of the American Revolution). If you are interested in the two jaeger companies of these regiments, pick up Tustin's translation of Johan Ewald's "Diary of the American War. The AB jaegers were joined with Hessian jaegers for much of the war and were sent to different places than the rest of the two regiments. There are also a variety of other journals that Bruce Burgoyne has translated that might help.
