Hi Brian, I'm sorry I can't help you with your problems, but I'm glad you found something to scan. I'm looking for my great grandfather's military records from the Royal 40th Inf. Reg. approx. 1845 era. He was garrisoned at Mainz. He moved to Kreuznach after his discharge. If you or anyone else ( Dr. Dietrich? ) know how to find this info, I'd be very happy to learn where to go or what to do. Incidentally, his name was Franz Diederich (Dietrich). His wife was Eva Meid, and his sons were August, and Johann ( my grandfather ) born in 1847. Ruth In a message dated 3/4/2009 2:21:59 P.M.

Genevs Compagnie as the outfit he is with. I'm assuming, Capit. Genev was his commanding officer. Problem two is his grandfather, Johan George Engelbach, who I think was baptized in Dec 1731 in Assenheim, but the page bleeds to black in the bottom corner and his entry is the last on the page. I have scans of both of them posted on my personal page. Johan George's scan is quite large (8MB). I've never successfully transcribed this record, but what I have discerned, makes me believe I have the right record. I was hoping that someone would care to make an attempt to try to at least transcribe that record. That record of course leads to the third problem. There are no Engelbach records, that I in my limited ability can find, before this date in Assenheim, and I don't know where to look next to try to find out where they came from. Other than the local city hall.
