WOW, thank you Bo! Now the big question, am I any further ahead as to his birthplace other thank Malmo taken from the HFL GID 1272.14.75600 and same on subsequent years. This whole Military thing is exciting being former military myself. Talk a bout a sledge hammer on my brick wall!

His file number means he was soldier number 90 of the 3rd Company, enlisted 1834 (as soldier number 90, he might have had a different position before). This MIGHT be him from 1818: STEN Nils Family name: - Birth date: - Death date: - Enlisted: 1818 Discharged: - File number: SH-01-0044-1818 Regiment: Skånska Husarregementet File: Fogdaröd 4 Company: Livkompaniet Parish: Höör Croft Number: SH-01-0044 In the 1823 general muster roll he is recorded as Nils Sten of Osarp, 22 years old.

This MIGHT be him from 1824: STEN Nils Family name: - Birth date: - Death date: - Enlisted: 1818 Discharged: - File number: SH-01-0043-1824 Regiment: Skånska Husarregementet File: Långstorp 1 Company: Livkompaniet Parish: Höör Croft Number: SH-01-0043 In the 1826 general muster roll, soldier number 43 Nils Sten of Långstorp, age 25 and unmarried, is recorded as moving 27 Mar 1824 from number 44. Generalmönsterrullor - Skånska husarregementet 918 (1826-1826) Image 690 (AID: v376670.b690, NAD: SE/KrA/0023). He is still number 43 Nils Sten of Långstorp in 1832, now age 32 and married, in Generalmönsterrullor - Skånska husarregementet 920 (1832-1832) Image 310 (AID: v376672.b310, NAD: SE/KrA/0023). In 1835 he is number 90 of Kolleberga squadron (3rd squadron/company), with remark he had previously been number 43 of 1st squadron. But still recorded as Nils Sten of Långstorp, now 34 years old.
