Elzbieta

Thank you for those links. I will have a look closer at them.
The Magrowski who appeared as soldiers of Reinhardt were in Neukirch-Hohe (Pogrodzie) and that is on the opposite side of Glogow.

Re: Schverin

In German list of all generals, there is no name Schverin, but a number of Schwerin

Have no idea how it fits into your research.

Hi Gilberto,

Yes, Glogau is Glogow.

Glogow - in fact exact Polish orthographe Głogów, search is not easy with that - is mentionned in French wikipedia http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campagne_de_Prusse_et_de_Pologne

Actually I digged more about Napolen battles, including the decisive Battle of (Iéna - French name) Jena-Auerstedt on 14 October 1806
The French site is http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataille_d'I%C3%A9na

This site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jena-Auerstedt_Campaign_Order_of_Battle
gives a lot of names of generals, but also includes a link to the German sites of generals, where the name of Reinhardt is recorded
http://www.lexikon-deutschegenerale.de/r_pr.html

Here is a list of Prussian Infantry Regimental Colonels-in-Chief 1792 - 1806
http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/Prussia/infantry/c_prussianinf6.html

Infantry Regiment Nr. 52
19.05.1795: Reinhardt, Generalmajor [later Generalleutnant] Franz-Joachim von (1742-1809)

Thank you for the links, Elzbieta. Is Glogau now Glogów?

The name of Reinhard (or Reinhardt) shows in documents describing Napoleon battles.

Capitulation of Glogau: November 5, 1806
http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/battles/eylau/c_eylaueng87.html
... H. Exc. Mr. v. Reinhard, lieutenant general of the armies of H. M. the king of Prussia ...

or here, with some details of capitulation to French
... His Excellency the Lieutenant-General and Governor Von Reinhardt ...

Hi,

Records from Conradswalde (now Chojnowo, near Pogrodzie), between 1791 and 1803, shows the same information about a person:
- miles de R Generalis de Schverin
- militis Sub Scherin
- miles de R G de Reinhard
- granadin sub R G de Reinhard
- miles de Regimine de Reinhard
- musqueter de R sub G Reinhard and
- musquetin Regiment von Reinhard.

I am aware this is Latin and refers to a soldier and military ranks. But who was Schverin and Reinhard? Prussian generals? The name of a military unit? Where was their headquarters? Which battles, if any, did they fight? What places have they been to? Is there any sources where I can learn more about this?

Any help is welcome.
