Hello Listers, I have a copy of a Military Certificate(?) dated 1899 and given to Gefreiter STARCK. My Mother's surname was STARCK. I have scanned it as a JEPG file about 800KB. Can someone download it and tell me what I have, and any information on the certificate? Thank you, Alan Rossing, Monterey, California, USA

Hi - Does anyone know where the Lutheran churchbooks for the towns of Wallertheim and Neider Wiesen, Weinheim, Rheinhessen are? Either LDS film info or archiv address/namen would be appreciated. Does anyone have a local genealogist to recommend in that area? I have recently found the link for the Johann Heinrich Weinheimer (b/ May 4, 1802) home - - Wallertheim & Neider Wiesen, Rheinhessen. IS there an English book anyone can recommend to read more about the area and its history? Thanks - Kathy Howard _________________________________________________________________ Get fast, reliable access with MSN 9 Dial-up.

<< Does anyone know the regions and districts these towns are in? >> Wachterlisbach = possibly Waechtersbach, near Gelnhausen in Kreis Gelnhausen. Daxhandten = possibly Daxlanden, Baden-Wuerttemberg Alteckendorf = there are two Eckendorfs, one in Rheinland-Pfalz and one in Bavaria (at least). Dona Ritchie

I am hoping someone can help me with locate the following book at a library. Or if someone has access to the following book on Hessian soldiers to America and would be willing to pull the information for me I would appreciate it. The book information is listed below: . I am looking for the information on the two entries for men named Gottfried Francke, who came in 1783 and 1779 to Pennsylvania. I think the 1783 listing is my lineage, but I would like both fellows information to be able to check on each man. Apparently the book info should give me their birthdates and places along with some other information. I will then be able to write to the area and have someone do research on the man to find out if he is my direct lineage. This listing info came from ancestry.com.

Unless the subject in question had gone to the Balkans, where there were several small wars in the period 1910-14! Of course it would have been of great help had the poster explained why he was asking this question! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Becker" <carl@becker-wiesbaden.de> To: <HESSE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 3:10 AM Subject: Re: [HESSE] WAR HELP > ... except for some fighting the native people in the colonies. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Rorer" <drorer@fuse.net> > To: <HESSE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 12:18 AM > Subject: Re: [HESSE] WAR HELP > > > > There was no war in Germany during those years.

I wrote the Marburg Archives about getting a copy of a reference I had been given on a Hessian Soldier and have not gotten a reply in 60 days. I got the idea they were closed for some reason for several weeks or months? Do they have an Email Anyone know if they are in daily operation? Many thanks Charles Severs

Hi, Phil, I have used this firm two times for similar payments, after seeing them recommended in Dick Eastman's Online Genealogical Newsletter: http://www.foreignmoney.com/ I can recommend them too. Call them, tell them the amount on the check you need, they charge it to your credit card, a couple of days later you get a check in the mail made out to your archives, in Euros, drawn on a German bank. You mail it to your archives as payment. Works like a charm. --Michelle Stone
