Hi Helen Given the timeframe, it is unlikely that you'll find any ethnic German soldiers on this microfilm. While it is always possible that the Austrian Empire stationed one of its "KK" (i.e., Imperial Landwehr, composed entirely of Austrian personnel) regiments there, it is more likely that the garrison was a "K.u.K" (i.e. "Kaiserlich und Koniglich") regiment composed of locally recruited troops. While the recruited troops reflected the local ethnic mix, the officer corps was usually staffed heavily with Austrians. You will probably find some Czechs, Poles, and others among the officers as well. So, the likelihood is that you will find a mixture of Austrian, Czech, Polish, and Ruthenian names on the microfilm. It will all depend upon who stayed healthy and who didn't. Sorry, no Germans. The text is in German only because that was the official language of Austrian Army. My grandfather, while an ethnic Pole, was the scribe or clerk of his K.u.K. infantry regiment because he was fluent in German and had good penmanship. But, alas, I've never viewed any of the records that he might have written during his stint in the K.u.K. His commanding officer was, I believe, Oberst (Colonel) Raimund Baczynski von Leszkowicz Cheers!

Thank You Dennis: I had tried sending a thank you off list to your e-mail address but the message bounced. Perhaps that is a feature that has been configured by rootsweb so that people can't reply just to the individual. Another list that I had subscribed to worked the same way but my thought is that thanking the person who replied, off list, saves others from having to delete messages that might not apply or be of interest to them. Your reply below was probably the first message you sent as in the other message I had received you thought your response had been lost? I noticed your location of Chicago -- any recommendations for good places to buy Polish food -- we hope to visit the big city in January. A reply off list will do at ginn@ebtech.net if this works :-) Helen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Benarz" <benarz@hotmail.com> To: <galicia@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 5:51 AM Subject: Re: [GALICIA] German Soldiers or Other LDS Film 1454421 > Hi Helen > > Given the timeframe, it is unlikely that you'll find any ethnic > German > soldiers on this microfilm. > > While it is always possible that the Austrian Empire stationed one of > its > "KK" (i.e., Imperial Landwehr, composed entirely of Austrian > personnel) > regiments there, it is more likely that the garrison was a "K.u.K" > (i.e. > "Kaiserlich und Koniglich") regiment composed of locally recruited > troops. > While the recruited troops reflected the local ethnic mix, the > officer corps > was usually staffed heavily with Austrians.
