The Baltic Merchants (3)

Some papers concerning George were, preserved at Darton and thus eventually found their way into the Bretton Estate archives or to the Yorkshire Arch. Soc., or both. These, I believe, were transferred to West Yorkshire Archives fairly recently.

This is a list of some relevant items from the Bretton estate archives catalogue that was supplied to me in 2000. Most of these documents are said in the list to be in German. I have standardised some spellings.
