I agree that many civil war military records may provide some insight into the origin of German veteran immigrants. But the inane drivel that too many of the contributors to this website is more suitable to Tweeter or Facebook and shouldn't be filling up my inbox ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "W David Samuelsen" <dsam52@sampubco.com> To: <hesse@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 01, 2011 8:21 PM Subject: Re: [HESSE] German-Americans in the Civil War - Wikipedia,the free encyclope... > PLENTY!

I have to disagree Raymond. I've read each story and found none to be "inane drivel," rather an inspiration to keep hunting, and new ideas on going about it. My great grandfather came from Arnshain, Hesse-Darmstadt. I think anything our Hesse immigrants did here after immigration qualifies for discussion on this list. He returned to Germany in 1862, and for some reason made his way to Switzerland and married in 1865. I wish figuring out how that came to be were as simple as tracking censuses for the bride's family, whose given names we don't know. Because he was there for about 3 years, does anyone think there is any sort of document I might find him on in that little time? Susan Sent from my iPhone On Apr 1, 2011, at 6:44 PM, "Raymond F.

Hi Susan, Why not see if he filled out a Declaration of Intention? He might have done so, and then decided against following through. If he was here in 1860, you might try the Census.
