    1. [HESSE] My Ancestors Came From 'Sachsen' (but what location) to Nova Scotia (1752)
    2. My ancestors, George Phillip BREHM (About 1727-1776), and his wife, Elizabeth HELLER (about 1727-1801) sailed from Hellevoet Roads, Rotterdam for Halifax, Nova Scotia on 16 May 1752 on the 'Betty'.The passenger list stated they were from 'Sachsen.' I know that then and even today there were and are a number of different Sachsens. I also know that boundaries have changed many times. My questions: 1. Which Sachsens existed in 1752 and where are these lands today? 2. Which of these might have been a point of departure for emigrants for Canada leaving from Rotterdam? 3. Where did most German 'Foreign Protestants' emigrating to Nova Scotia originate Thanks for the help. Jim
