Just started to subscribe to the list. Reading the archives at the moment and enjoying them. Also very new to the family research game. Looking for all the help I can get. However as of yet have not heard of anyone looking for Hess(e) roots. I am interested in talking to any Hess(e)'s out there, in particular any of them left in Ireland. My husband's family is one of the last, if not the last family, left in the Wexford, Ireland area. regards Helen Hesse _________________________________________________________________ Get an all-Ireland weather forecast at MSN Weather! http://www.msn.ie/weather

Helen, Just in case you have not already found it, do take a look at www.irishpalatines.org for background information on the Irish Palatines and an opportunity to support the Irish Palatine Association which, amongst other things, runs the museum in Rathkeale.
