I haven't posted to this list for some time, but I just want to make you aware of an interesting opportunity for those with Hessian ancestors. Note: this is not spam and I mean no offense. I like this idea and just want to share with those who may be like minded. I expect that some here are descendants of the Hessian soldiers of the American Revolution. If you do not belong to that rootsweb list you be interested to know that one of the members of that list had pins and pendants made depicting a Hessian soldier and they are available to purchase at a very reasonable price. If you are interested, these trinkets make a nice gift for those who are interested in their Hessian ancestor. You may email me if you are interested and I'll get you the information off-list.

greetings to all... in re-reading the church records for the Evangelical Reformed Church of Frederick, i discovered a previously overlooked record of the birth of a son to David and Susanah Hoffman...Johan Jacob the mother is the daughter of Jacob Klein of Middle Creek, my ancestor.. the sponsors of the baptism however were Jacob Klein and wife Anna Maria Seilor with whom we Clines of Middle Creek have no proven relationship... this sponsorship was probably brought about by the Hoffman family who were members of the Reformed church of Frederick for some time ...still it is an interesting connection between the two Klein families.. does anyone know of any other connection between the two Kleins.. or any further connection between the Frederick Kleins and the Hoffmans thanks as always jay cline --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
