I'm searching for a Hessian ancestor(5th great grandfathr according to my grandfather) and have learned that my surname appears as BARNDT/BAERNDT and possibly BERNDEN during the early to mid 1700's in Hessen,Germany(Goddelau,Starkenburg,Hessen; Goddelau,Gross Gerau,Starkenburg,Hessen) and Preussen(Massow,Preussen; Frankenburg,Frankenstein,Schlesien,Preussen; Huls Crefeld,Rheinland,Preussen; Westfalen,Preussen; Stettin Stadt,Pommern,Preussen). Would like to know if any of these surnames appear on North American Hessian troop records. Any and all help greatly appreciated. Best regards to all, Paul Barndt
