Hi Gale,
No, I don't believe we've communicated about our Hartwigs before. Mine are a bit further back, but I'm stumped as to where they originated. I have a Georg Andreas Hartwig who was a lieutenant in Wolfenb�ttel in 1700. In 1703 he joined up with the cavalry of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf and was sent as a captain (Rittmeister) down to southern Germany during the War of Spanish Succession. In 1715 he retired and settled in Hessen near a military colleague, the Graf von Erbach. He married Dorothea Sophia Schumacher, who knows where. I'm sure he was from up north somewhere, but there aren't so many microfilmed records from up north as there are in Hessen. Hannover isn't so very far away from Wolfenb�ttel/Braunschweig (at least, not compared to the other places he traveled). I think I'll check out the area you mentioned. Do you know if there are any published town histories or Ortsippenb�cher/Familienb�cher?
