Seeking to find more information on Christian Grim (m) who stayed in America. He married Mary Margaret Morgan and died in 1823. He may have come with his brother to America. Any help would be welcome. Carolyn Staggers Andersen
Does anyone have good sources as to religious affiliation of Hessians in general as well as specific ancestors?
Hi, Yes, then and Now. My Hessian brothers were lutheran, the catholic church lost ground in Germany around the time of Marten Luther. The Parish were my Bonnsteins were baptized was Lutheran, the German researcher extracted my ancestor records from these records back to 1640. Martin Luther was a German monk, priest, professor of theology and iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money.
