From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: AMREV-Hessian website/ mailing list members please read Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:41:17 +0100 Hi Nelda, for sending my email to the mailing list please use this adress: [email protected] That prevents me from a lot of incoming spam mails to my main email adress. I check the "yeager"-email every day so mails will arrive in time. Would you please so kind to send me a link to the mailing list? I really would like to join it and people are invited to send me their requests - I will do my very best but for sure it will take a little time to find some informations. You wrote that you are a descendant of Johann Jacob Bonstein. "Grossrouperhausen" is a little village about 3 miles east of my home village Leimsfeld. The correct name is Großropperhausen. If you are interested in further informations or pictures of this location let me know, it is five minutes away :-) Here is my post adress as needed: Markus Neumann Gruener Weg 9 D-34621 Frielendorf-Leimsfeld/Germany Greeting Markus PS: here are some short informations about Mr. Bonstein from the Marburg university server.

It is a group of people searching for their German Ancestors who were German soldiers hired by England to fight the colonists. You might want to join the mailing list your self. Just recently, we had a person ask where the records for the soldiers who returned were kept...I couldn't answer them. Thank you again you will be a great help for those still struggling. Best Regards Nelda Percival - Descendant of Johann Jacob Bonstein from Grossrouperhousen, Germany
