The province (part of the kingdom of Preussen) Hessen-Nassau existed from 1866 to 1945. Gensungen was part of this province, but not in the 1600s. Today it is part of Hessen (no more Preussen, no more provinces) Carl ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryle Rappe" <oshores2002@yahoo.com> To: <HESSE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 5:11 AM Subject: [HESSE] Hessen-Nassau > Does the province name Hessen-Nassau sound right for the late 1600's?
