Please help.
Heinrich (Andre) Sasse (Szass,Szasse) came to Canada with the regiment of Specht, troop Brunswick, companie Leib (B-5) (archives Wolfenbuettel). He was discharged in 1783 (Rimpau list) and remained in Quebec, Canada and married Feb 3, 1785 @ Berthier to Marie-Reine Contre dit Sansoucy.
He was apparently born around 1735/37 at Calvin (duchy of Magdeburg), possibly Calbe, south of Magdeburg and west of Dessau, in Saxe-Anhalt.
His parents were Christian Sasse and Catherine Sporleder.
What I'm looking for is information regarding his birth, birthplace, where they lived, occupation, religion, parents, grandparents, siblings etc.
It would be great to be able to locate relatives as well.
This is truly my brick wall.
Thanks in advance,
Lynne (Zastre) Johnston
