John; Some of us have tried that route of sending in information on our Hessian ancestors only to receive a polite slap in the face. Twice I have submitted my info to you and was told to stick to the subject. My ancestor was a Hessian, fought in the American Revolution, and stayed behind. If that is getting off of the subject than why not research other materials that may provide clues. -----Original Message----- From: john <jmerz@cogeco.ca> Sent: May 13, 2005 11:59 AM To: AMREV-HESSIANS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HESSIAN] Notes on Hessian Soldiers Suzanne, to tell you the truth, there is nothing of substance in Clifford Neal Smith's Notes, and I would not spend a nickel on buying a copy, trust me. To search intelligently for a Hessian, you much better off to give us his full name, the place he first turned up, and all other little details like wife's name, children, will, how you found out about him, etc. Do this over this list, and you may have results! Don't overlook the list archives. A goldmine for Hessian research.
