Is anyone doing research on Hessian prisoners or others that might have worked in the iron mining/furnace industry? Hopewell Furnace in Berks County worked some of the Hessians according to Retzer's "Hessian POW's in Reading, Revisited". Hopewell is run by the National Park Service and has a data base and microfilm of the Furnace records but it is not available unless you are at the Park. If anyone is in that proximity i would greatly appreciate any help in the records. The Park Service does not do personal research. My possible surnames are: DAMMEYER and DORMEYER. Thank you, Ann agatha1@flash.net
