It depends on how much detail you have. Enlisted Stammrollen are by company, so if you know which company or companies he was in, the Renner might help, since you'd be dealing with far fewer people with that name.
Some Baden Stammrollen are also online.
I only have the name, and a comman one at that... I am afraid it is a dead end 😞

Hi, you had posted a link some time ago I think, but I could not remember if it was baden or Württ or where the link was
I am looking for a guy named August Sommer but I think there may be too many without a birth date

The little swastika is very similar to the one worn on the cap in some Legion Condor Photos?

Hi Antonio, He was a German, do you think he was in the legion? Or was he an instructor from the Legion Condor?

I had a couple of document groups where the guy was awarded the EK2 twice. in one case an officer was awarded it twice in 1914... he had changed commands and both commands awarded him the EK2... but it did not mean he could wear two. Another group was a guy who got the postwar EK2 awarded twice as the awarding authority changed and they overlooked the fact that it had been already awarded.
I think there is no official way to wear two. although, if someone had served in GSWA before the war he may have had the the black and white ribbon on the bar... and some collector just swapped out the medals?

Chris, are you still collecting Imperial German uniforms and equipment?
I have not found anything in a couple of years... But having said that, I have not been casting a wide net, i.e. I am avoiding wanting to buy things because they are "Nice"... but only if they fit the limits of "alpenkorps"... so not a lot going...
