The year you mention (1886) is a time of peace when the Austro-Hungarian navy was sailing to many places on international seas. Your ancestor might have spent some time in a French port... I don't think there was any military operation in Europe at that time.

He is reported to have been an Oberst in the Austrian Army and eventually settled in Graz, Austria. Our families were still in touch while my grandmother was in Yugoslavia.... but that ended with the war. The reason for my question...... I have a strong DNA match with a woman whose family seems to have always been in north-west France. My question is: What events were taking place in France in 1886? Could someone from the Austria Hungary military be in that location? For what purpose? I know this may be the wrong forum for this question..... I was hoping that, at least, someone could steer me the right way. Thank you in advance.
