Fine, but in the mid-1700s, Europe was a hodge-podge of duchies, kingdoms, and
God knows what else. As I recall, you are living in Austria.

yes. (and to your earlier post you haven't even mentioned the Habsburg
monarchy, owning most of Europe then, and also parts of Mexico).

That area, and the
area north of there now known as Bavaria provided most of the troops that
England sent over here during our revolution and many of the troops used later
in the Napoleonic wars. My ancestors called them "Hessians" because many of them
were from that area.
