Does anyone know an address of the Hessian Archives Repository in Marburg where info on soldiers is located? My John Lutsey (or Luetze/Lutze/Lutzig) does not appear in Hetrina as I understand it. I thought I might pursue a different angle. I didn't find him in the Pension records books either under any similar spelling. He died in 1827; he received a bounty supposedly in ca.1783 in PA. Ironically, I spent a year at Phillips Universität in Marburg in 1971. I read the old script if I would need to. Any other suggestions appreciated. Edward Quinter

Based on my experience viewing less than a dozen Hesse-Cassel records I found that the Monatliche Listen [monthly lists] in the "blaue Nr" [blue number] series vary significantly from regiment-to-regiment. Some follow the "standard" British format whereas others are more of a "memorandum" format. In general, the only information I found was Rabk, Name, [aus] Place of Origin, age, height, date and reason being recorded [promotion, transferred in, transferred ot, recruited, died, deserted, etc.] The "standard" British format header is a numerical accounting by rank and condition. There can be a substantial cost involved with obtaining records from Marburg. Some correspondents have received copies from microfilm at no cost while others have received a bill for 25 to 30 Euros. The archives does not accept credit cards so you have to get a bank check payable in Euros. In the USA that service carries a bank fee of about US$ 20. I do not know of any public repository besides Hessiches Staatsaeciv Marburg which has a copy of the film. If anyone on the list knows of a public source holding the microfilm, pleas post the info to the list. Bob Brooks

Hello Edward, I would suggest to go through our mail list archives for the information you are seeking. Not only will you find the address of the Staatsarchiv Marburg, but you may find the Lutsey/Luetze information as well. Once you have that, you have a better idea of what's missing and it will enable you to ask precise questions.
