Hello/Hallo Hessenland and Hessians in America!

This is a bilingual message to show you what co-operation
can achieve. I have been looking for information on these
soldiers born in Westuffeln now 34379 Calden/Hessen, appr.
6 km west of Grebenstein, north of Kassel, and one of my
German correspondent gave me the following hint:
FINIS has changed to VENIS.
(I had written that we have much information on Kaspar Goebel,
but nothing on his buddy Henrich Fines who took off
together with Kaspar.)

Hallo John H. Merz,
die zahlreiche Nachkommenschaft des Henrich Finis in Amerika ist unter
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jackott/venis.htm
zu finden. Er blieb in Amerika und heiratete um 1783 eine Margareth Wolfe.

For the record and our archives,
John Merz
