VMs: Joachim Gans & Jan Baresch

["J HALEY" <j.haley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Joachim Gans was a metallurgist, Jan Baresch worked with metals. It
is assumed that our Baresch was an alchemist and so the Gans and
Baresch characters can be assumed to have mutual interests. It is said
that Joachim Gans was related to David Gans in Prague and he was
aboard the Tyger on Walter Ralegh's expedition to Roanoke with
Thomas Harriot. If the Gans of the Marci letter can be linked with this
family then I think there may be a real breakthrough. I have ordered the
biography of David Gans to see if I can pick anything up from that.
