Hi everyone, I am working on my family tree and have run into a brick wall. I come through Hans Henrich Waldeck born in Immenhausen Germany who was a Hessian soldier in the Revolutionary war against George Washington in 1776 Who's father was Gernand Waldeck. Here is the problem. I believe that Gernand is a misspelling of some other name such as Gerhard or Bernhard or some other variation of the name, or the wrong name all together. Here is the information on Hans Henrich Waldeck's father.Gernand Waldeck born 20 Nov 1738 died 1 Jan 1794 married on 2 Oct 1755 to a Anna Martha Nolten. Gernand's father is listed as Johann Waldeck born 3 Feb abt 1701 Married to Elizabeth Blesing on 3 Feb abt 1724/25. This the information everyone has on their family tree on all the web sites such as ancestry.com and this is as far back in the family tree that anyone has been able to go. If anyone has any ideas on how this mystery can be solved or has any ideas on where to look to get this information please contact me. I would like to get our family tree finished for my father. Here is my email a4664@hotmail.com thanking you in advance for any help, Jack
