Hi Karen, Welcome to the list, You did a wonderful job on giving us information on your supposed Hessian. My first suggestion would be to search the archives for all spellings of the surname. You could also search or browse for emails on resource books. The archives hold large amounts of information on resources to use to find the information you need. Nelda List Manager Pax et bonum!

Can someone explain what "Hetrina" is and where one finds it? I have searched the archives and found little except information on George Fazenbaker. I am used to searching in New England so this is all new to me. My first endeavour will be to try and learn the first name of Holzberger who is seems to be a deserter who settled locally. This doesn't seem to be a name that was common in the 1700's in the U.S. It looks like there were other immigrants after the turn of the century.

Hi Karen, I would have thought all the heavy duty researchers would have answered youir question by now... Hetrina, Auerbach, Franz, Frohlich. Volumes 1 - 6. Lists published by the Hessian State Archive at Marburg of about 15,000 soldiers in German regiments sent to fight in the American Revolution from 1776-1784. They were mostly recruited from Kassel and Waldeck. Sketches are given of individual units and their activities. Listed are the person's number, surname, given name, birthyear, place of origin, town & state, rank, unit, type of record, date, code to manuscript source. ~~~~ Wjhen I input Hetrina in google I found quite a few offereing to do look ups for a fee, and other references.. I would suggest searching google.com or calling your local library and asking them to find the closests library who has a copy of the set or.. I think the archives has the address of who John Merz gave his books to.. you might contact them... Nelda lm Pax et bonum! Nelda L.

Karen, John just sent this.. ~~~~~~~~~ Nelda, our list archives have explicit explanations re: Hetrina, check the taglines for instructions. John ~~~~~~ Karen I'd say put Hetrina in the archives search engine... Nelda Pax et bonum! Nelda L. Percival nee Gilpin
