Hi- I picked up a great deal of the Waldeck information from Bruce Burgoyne and it enroute to the SAR Library in Louisville. It will be catalogued in the very near future and made ready for examination. In due time this and much of the rest of Bruce Burgoyne's information on the hessians will be made ready for access by computer over the internet. This will take a little time, however. Howard F.

Hello dear Howard; Hello dear Amrev-Hessian subscribers; Your SAR Library in Louisville, Kentucky will be a real hotbed for Hessian soldier research, once MY American Hessian files get there sometimes in September 2004. I am working hard on my last big project, the "Hessian Day" at the Rose House Museum in Waupoos, Quinte Isle, Ontario, which will take place on 21. August 2004. After this has been accomplished, I will be preparing my material and look forward to the visit by your Librarian to inspect and take over my files. To satisfy the request of a number of our subscribers, I have ordered a reprint of my "GUIDE to find your Hessian Soldier of the AmRev" improved and with additional names (about 3500), cost will be $20.00 including the postage to USA or Canada. Mail check to John H. Merz, 703-350 Concession St., Hamilton, Ontario, L9A 1B6, Canada. If you are after a specific name, I will add a Personal Data File free. If a PDF is ordered separate, it will cost you 15.00, or you will have to wait til my stuff is at the SAR Library, where you can check it out yourself. But for now it would be safe to ask me fisrt if I have any information for that name, just to make sure. Trusting that this will make everybody happy, I remain yours truly John Helmut Merz http://www3.sympatico.ca/hessian/Arbeitszimmer.htm http://www3.sympatico.ca/hessian/plakette.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: <hhorne04@comcast.net> To: <AMREV-HESSIANS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [HESSIAN] Andreas Mahr - Hessian Soldier - Grand Coteau, LA. > Hi- > I picked up a great deal of the Waldeck information from Bruce Burgoyne and it enroute to the SAR Library in Louisville.
