The files from the Electorate Principality of Hessen (Kurfürstentum Hessen) a.k.a. Hessen Kassel are stored in Marburg and are available through HADIS as well (Hessisches Staatsarchiv Marburg - HStAM). Just remember not all have been digitalised yet so you won't find all records in HADIS. Regards, Thierry   Dr. Thierry P.
