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.
