I suspect you have a misspelling. The closest my Gross Shell Atlas comes is a Burg-Grafenrode, which happens to be in Hesse. However, without knowing any more it will be impossible to narrow this down. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Albert Davey" <greatgrandson1998@yahoo.ca> To: <HESSE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 3:36 PM Subject: [HESSE] Burgrafsmoth, Hessen > Burgrafsmoth, Hessen, was given as the former home of my g-g-grandparents Nicolaus and Wilhelmine HESS, on their ship's passenger list from Hamburg in 1858.

Thanks for your kindness in researching and replying. "Rothgrafenburg" was mentioned in another document as the birthplace of a daughter Margaretha HESS; as a place name, Rothgrafenburg could be someone's version of Burg-Grafenrode. In any case, there are some church records available for Burg-Grafenrode, which I hope to examine soon. David Rorer <drorer@fuse.net> wrote:I suspect you have a misspelling.
