I've been emptying my folders because there have been 3 attempts to give me that HAHAHA virus, so I don't have your name. Take care , Kevin You may wish to contact John Merz <[email protected]> John has researched Hessians extensively, and written a book on the subject. His webpage can be found at http://www.cgocable.net/~hessian/ You could also try The Hessian Web Page at http://www.netaxs.com/~gothic/Hessian.html There is also an online book at http://www.americanrevolution.org/hessindex.html THE HESSIANS and the other GERMAN AUXILIARIES OF GREAT BRITAIN IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR by Edward J. Lowell Last (but not least) you can try my Loyalist mailing list section of The Olive Tree Genealogy at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/loy/loymail.shtml Lorine McGinnis Schulze Try this website. The owner is Todd Braisted, a Rev.
