Thanks for the info John.
My research is covering a two hundred year period (1665-1865) (not the
1812-14 war) and covers Upper and Lower Canada and the maritimes. It covers
ALL nationalities but I really enjoy this difficult german side of history.
Considering that I have more than 6000 pages of notes so far, rest assured
that I'll have more findings for you. I sincerely hope that members of this
list will contribute. In my mind, shearing is the solution to research.
Regards,
Norm
