Hello Mr. Herb Spannuth; Thanks for writing to me, and asking about my new 'Revised and improved GUIDE to help you find your Hessian Soldier of the American Revolution.' Sorry that I included the Brunswicker soldiers in the general category of the "Hessians", but this is what all German soldiers are commonly called. I can see from your mail that you really don't need my 'Guide', because I have not more to offer as you already know, after all, you found him, and you don't need help for that purpose anymore. What I would recommend is to perhaps join our mailing list and participate in our discussions. A look at our mail list archives is an experience by itself. Just click on http://archiver.rootsweb.com/AMREV-HESSIANS-L and start at the end or at the beginning - month by month. There is the history of our Brunswickers and Hessians as told by the countless descendants who are discussing their ancestor. Wish you the best, and good luck, John Merz, btw. the Guide is $20.00 including postage. ----- Original Message ----- From: Herb Spannuth To: hessian@sympatico.ca Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 11:05 PM Subject: Brunswicker-Spanuth/Spannuth Mr. Merz, I have recently become aware of your "Guide to help find your Hessian Soldier of the American Revolution". I understand there are two references to my ancestor Johann Heinrich Spanuth on page 81. Please tell me how I can get the sources and the information you have located about him. Also please tell me how to purchase a copy of the "Guide". I am aware of the "Profile" written about Johann Heinrich Spanuth by M. A. Schwalm in the Journal of the Johannes Schwalm Historical Association, Inc. as well as the fact that Clifford Neal Smith's Monograph titled, "Brunswick Deserter-Immigrants of the American Revolution" also lists information about him. I have been researching my family genealogy for about 15 years and am in the process of writing up my findings. I have quite a bit of information about Heinrich but will appreciate any further information you have found about him. Thanks, Herb Spannuth herbspan@cox.net
