Hi I am new to Prussian research and am looking for any information on Charles Francis Augustus Ferdinand Rust (anglicized) born c 1834. parents listed as Karl Franz Rust , (supposedly surgeon general to Napoleon) and Dorothea Sudas - names from his marriage certificate in Australia. Karls father was also meant to have been a surgeon in the army. He was a strange man and moved around frequently. He changed him name often, and is buried under John Rust. I only found him when I found the wife dead. He was a 4th year medical student and was meant to go into the army, but did not want to do this and escaped supposedly in a wine barrel. (Family letter gives these details, unsure how much is fact). Charles was a chemist in Victoria. Any suggestions gratefully received. regards Lyn Baker Australia
Hi, I am also new to this. I only found Prussian site earlier in the week and havnt figured out how to find anything yet. How did you find my e-mail? I don't mind, I am trying to learn it as well. Unfortunately I don't have any info on your people. They sound very interesting, good luck on your research. I havnt been able to find anything specific on the Prussian people, sorry.
