Where can I find the scan? Where is your personal page?   Dr. Thierry P. Dietrich D-61250 Usingen ________________________________ Von: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Gesendet: Mittwoch, den 4. März 2009, 21:21:24 Uhr Betreff: [HESSE] Researching very old military records in Hesse, and other things Ok, I'm going to try this again. It's been years and my ancestors are collecting dust. I have two problems (well, actually I have a lot more than 2), I'm working on. Problem one is how/where to write/research for my ancestor Cpl Frobesen stationed in Hanau in 1774. I have a scan of his son's baptism, listing Capit. Genevs Compagnie as the outfit he is with. I'm assuming, Capit. Genev was his commanding officer. Problem two is his grandfather, Johan George Engelbach, who I think was baptized in Dec 1731 in Assenheim, but the page bleeds to black in the bottom corner and his entry is the last on the page. I have scans of both of them posted on my personal page. Johan George's scan is quite large (8MB). I've never successfully transcribed this record, but what I have discerned, makes me believe I have the right record. I was hoping that someone would care to make an attempt to try to at least transcribe that record. That record of course leads to the third problem. There are no Engelbach records, that I in my limited ability can find, before this date in Assenheim, and I don't know where to look next to try to find out where they came from. Other than the local city hall.

Both scans are on the same page. It's rather slow, A very large file for one (8MB). I can do something to make it smaller if you want. A Warning, I took the larger one in a vertical position so the text is sideways. I can manipulate it for you if you'd prefer. my page is http://www.amason.net/~brian/scans.html Thanks, Brian On Wed, March 4, 2009 3:12 pm, Thierry Dietrich wrote: > Where can I find the scan?
