    2. ----These troops came from Hesse Cassel, Hesse Hanau, Brunswick, Anspach, Bayreuth, Anhalt Zerbst and Waldeck. ----- These places become searchwords for the LDS FHC catalog. Using KEYWORD: emigration Hesse or emigration Germany Brunswick (I think that is Braunsweig in German so try emigration Braunsweig, too.) or emigration Ansbach (Anspach is an old spelling) or emigration Bayreuth or emigration (with any other place name) There are the following hits in German and English: Notes on Hessian soldiers who remained in Canada and the United States after the American Revolution, 1775-1784 / Smith, Clifford Neal Annotated Hessian chaplaincy record of the American Revolution, 1776-1783; christenings, marriages, deaths Smith, Clifford Neal These are perhaps the most important resouces. It is available for interlibrary loan from libraries all over the US. Just ask your local librarian to get it for you if they do not have it. Save the titles in German and search the WORLD CATALOG with them because you may find some have been translated and are also available in English from many / a few US University or public libraries. NEXT search KEYWORD: revolution hessian This has 64 titles and a lot of them are in English. I don't know how many might be on film but if you prin the list and take it to your local librarian you may find that many of the books are available for interlibrary loan if they are not on film at the LDS library.
