Jerry Krieger will speak on Germans from Russia

 


The December program was presented by Sharlene Stoddard.  She talked about the Hessian soldiers who were hired to fight with the British during the Revolutionary War.  One of her ancestors, Michael Hickman of Hesse-Hanau, fought with Major General John Burgoyne in his campaign in 1777.  She also talked about Burgoyne’s campaign which started in Canada in the spring of 1777 and ended in Oct 1777 with the army’s surrender at Saratoga, NY.  The program  included some information about the Hessians, the battles and battlefields where they fought, and a little about Michael’s life after the surrender.  He was one of the German soldiers who did not return to Germany.   All of the meetings of the NCIGS are free and open to the public.  Anyone who is interested in history and genealogy is encouraged to attend.
