Hello Craig and Marvin, This is a great entry and many thanks for the imput from both of you. I was trying to research Andreas Jansen who we know was involved in the 1848/9 revolution. When he died he had a metal plate in his head, from injuries received, this was confirmed on his death certificate. there was a Josef in the family and we wondered if Jean Josef may have been a relation. More research to be done now. Many thanks again, Elizabeth On 29/03/2012 9:37 PM, Craig Gauger wrote: > > It also states he was a political rebel and wanted for quite some time. In June 1849 he was with a Mannheim resistance group and as Adjutant for Hochsachsen. On 15 July 1849 he was imprisoned at Heidelberg as a political rebel. On 14 August 1849 he was a prisoner at the Rastatter Fort A because of a war betrayal. > > Though this biography in German below is short, he probably believed he and his comrades were patriots against an unjust enemy. > > I'm guessing there is more to read by the references to page numbers in the text.

Most, if not all records have some sort of pages referenced in the bios. As I mentioned to Elizabeth, on her Jean Jose Jansen record the name Leonhard Müller noted in a box labeled "Lit". This box seldom has had an entry and I have only seen it a few times. I hesitate to mention it when it does occur because I can't explain it to people when they question it's meaning. I like to include everything when I answer requests but this "Lit" entry has me puzzled. Can you explain what it could be ?
