Under the Österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie, both K.u.K. (kaiserliches und königliches "Imperial and Royal" Armies were equal, but separate. To access military records you can write the War Archives located in Wien, Austria. They do NO research. War Archive (Österreichisches Staatsarchiv Kriegarchiv) There is no national index (see below) for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You need to know the name (number) of the military unit, which was not always from the surname's region ! Most important to the genealogical researcher are the military records. It is surprising that these military records have NOT as yet been indexed, since these entries hardly ever appear in the respective parish registers. Available also are the career records ("Grundbuchblätter") of military personnel, from the foot-soldier up to the general, ranging from about 1860 onwards; rendering all sorts of individual data, and while often meagre on listing parents, furnishing detailed evidence of the whole professional life. Again only inquiries about their holdings are being dealt with and NO research conducted. http://www.bawue.de/~hanacek/info/wienkr01.htm http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/AUT/krainf-e.htm http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/links.htm http://www.oesta.gv.at/eng_tit.htm
