Nicolas Grau from Salmünster, Germany
I am researching an ancester named Nicolas Grau, born c. 1761 in Salmünster (present day Bad Soden-Salmünster in Hesse), Germany. He came to Canada in 1778 as a soldier of the Regiment von Riedesel, part of the Brunswick (Braunschweig) troop contingent. Marriage documents from Canada list his parents as Nicolas Grau and Marie Mitrine, but I'm not able to go any further back in his history. If anyone has any information they are willing to share about Nicolas Grau and his ancestors I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
