There's an information about a book about the House of Hesse, but it's in German. Plus you could send an inquiry to the Deutsches Adelsarchiv at info@adelsarchiv.de to find out where you actually stand when it comes to your father's family. If I can help with translations etc., don't hesitate to contact me PM. ![]()

Thank you so much for the information Warren and Jo! I'll definitely look up all of your suggestions. In that family tree you gave me Jo of Palestine, I found my father, even though my mother, siblings, and I are not listed on it. That was sort of a jolt of the heart to see.

as this is quite informative on the Hessens. If you find your father, but no information is given about his family, you should write to the Head of the House and ask to be included in the family tree and ask which documents are necessary for this. Most data bases take the Genealogische Handbuch des Adels (GHdA) - today's Gotha - as their basis and IIRC it's the job of the Head of the House to see to it that the family trees printed there are correct and complete. Maybe you find your father through´this again. ![]()

![]() Also, what is all this business about hm being King of Finland, and them asking where is the princess of Finland? I thought the Hessen were a German family, what is their tie to Finland? And how comes he says his father is Italian? Last edited by Warren; 12-02-2008 at 10:02 AM.. Reason: edited lengthy quote |

In 1918, when Finland become independent, Prince Friedrich Karl of Hesse was made King of Finland, although he never reigned; he was the Great-Grandfather of Prince Philipp;
Philipp's Father, Landgrave Moritz, is the son of Landgrave Philipp and his wife, nče Princess Mafalda of Savoy; He grew up in Italy, so I think that's why he said Moritz is Italian. Now He lives in Germany, I think. Last edited by Warren; 12-02-2008 at 10:01 AM.. Reason: repeat |
