HETRINA searches These folks will also do a HETRINA search for you.
They will charge you $15. The HETRINA is a multiple volume listing
of all soldiers that served in the Hessian army in America. Other volumes
for other Germans states (Anspach, Brunswick, etc.) are also available for
search.

The Germanic States
Ansbach-Bayreuth Troops
Camp Followers
Jails, Prisons and Prison Camps
Cemeteries:
All these topics are discussed on this page, including history of the
German states and the Ansbach area, the troops recruitment and journey
to America, organization of the troops, shipboard experiences, camp
followers, prisons and prisoners, cemeteries, etc. A lot of this
is new, or at least I've never seen it before, and very interesting.
I don't know if you could link each topic to a specific paragraph
on the page that addresses it or not, but if you could, that would be
great. Otherwise, just link to the whole page, I guess, or
whatever you think.

I don't know what heading you'd put this under, maybe have to make a new
one, but you
can hear a Hessian song Hofenfriedberger Marsch at this link:

in United States (although I think her list might include those who
stayed in Canada, too):
