Henryk

Have you used any of the films? It appears that all but one are listed as the registration cards. I would love it if as stated they also include the personnel record.

I will check with the volunteers at my local FHL location to see if they can tell me which of the 14 films for the letter "B" I might need to view.

Thanks again.

Jack

I am looking for military records for my grandfather Ludwig Renn who lived in Congress Poland (also called Russian Poland). He served in the Russian army during the Russo-Japanese War between 1904-1905, since his area was controlled by Russia. Before immigrating to the US in 1910, he lived in or near Slupca, Kleczew and Korwin, Russia, now Poland. Can anyone advise where I can find records online that I can have translated? I do not know the company or unit he served in under Russia.

My great-Grandfather Michal Brej served in the Austro-Hungarian Regiment 93, Company 8 "drafted" from Galicia from 1883-1886. Are there any on-line sources that can help me locate his service records? I was able to learn of his service from a record of his marriage bans that noted the military's permission for his marriage.
