There are in total about 225 rolls at The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) in Kew just southwest of London in (Treasury) T 38/812. The rolls contain no biographical data and are just semi-annual muster records. The names have been abstracted and published in Erhard Städtler, _Die Ansbach-Bayreuther Truppem im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg 1777-1783_ ["The Ansbach-Bayreuth Troops in the American Independencewar 1777-1783"] (Nürnburg: Kommissionsverlag Die Egge, 1956) Those who deserted can be found on the Jochen Seidel websight in Germany, extracted from Städtler's book; however, I question the accuracy of Städtler's list of those left in America. > I have a copy of the Dohla Diary coming from Amazon, but I don't expect to > find company rosters there. You won't -- but that account gives an excellent insight into the life of a soldier. Bob Brooks

The NRO/ PRO refd by Bob are online, & searchable, altho ponderous to use. I have located excellent info, but it must be purchsed after found, altho reasonable on a per/ record basis.
