Thats great dave, thanks. I guess the Isenburg was am bavarian general for the same reason as the several other german princes were prussian generals. And than ofcourse: the prince of all Isenburg lands was a member of the confederation of the Rhine, as was Bavaria. I guess his militairy career started before the confederation was dissolved. BTW I guess von Throtha's KHW1 stands for Grandcross of the kurhessian Wilhelmsorden? regards David

Hi Dave because of his other foreign decorations I would say number 1. However 1849 was a turbulent year, so any of the other von Sch?lers could be in a position to earn a CHGL4 by then I guess..... But at least we know there are only 4 von Sch?lers around that time, which is surely helpfull. Would there be an 1850/1860 ish ranklist in your collection as well? Maybe accounts in such a list would be comparable to Priesdorf and maybe the lists does mention all the foreign awards.

Hi Glenn Thanks so much for checking! does it state if one of the 3 served in the Kriegsministerium? The list I have is from 1851 and there it says Major von Schoeler von Kriegsministerium. I don't know if there is specific info like that in Priesdorf on Kriegsministerium service, but that is what I have. So I guess I should be looking for someone with a 1850 ranklist.... regards David

Hi Gents In my data I have a recipient of the Knightscross CHGL 13.02.1849 as : k?niglich preussischen Major von Sch?ler vom Kriegsministerium (no first name given ofcourse, that would be to easy).... I was hoping that it will turn out to be one of the generals mentioned in Priesdorff, because that would make researching his career a lot easier. From the online index of Priesdorff: Schoeler, Alexander Viktor Ernst von Bd. 7,237 2268 Schoeler, August Wilhelm Karl Daniel Alexander von Bd. 6,488 2108 Schoeler, Friedrich August Alexander Felix Julius Andreas Alfred von Bd.10,313 3234 Schoeler, Friedrich Ludwig Robert Johann von Bd. 6,363 1987 Schoeler, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm von Bd. 3,62 976 Schoeler, Ludwig Johann Wilhelm August von Bd. 6,319 1940 Schoeler, Moritz Ludwig Wilhelm von Bd. 4,225 1299 Schoeler, Reinhold Otto Friedrich August von Bd. 4,197 1289 My guess is he is either from Band 7 or 10, judging from the fact he is (only) a major in 1849, but I am not sure and cannot check that. I hope one of you will help me out here. So what I am looking for is at least the date of birth an death of the von Schoeler mentioned in my data. Hope you can help me out here. many thanks!! David

Rolls
David M replied to a topic in Germany: Imperial: The Orders, Decorations and Medals of The Imperial German States
Would anyone know about the Nassau Civil Order of Adolph? It lived on in Luxembourg, but I am especially interested in the 1858-1866 periode of its existence. Does this come up in any kind of literature? I contacted the Archives in Wiesbaden today to find out if the rolls are in the Staatshandb?cher of these periodes. Regards David -
I have a question about Roderichs father, August. Was he a Major in 1849/1850? Should he have held that rank at these dates, I would be extremely interested in his careerdetails including ODM, because I suspect him of having received CHHGL3 (Knights Cross Churhessian House Order of the Golden Lion) probably mentioned as CHW3 (renamed in the Wilhelmsorden in 1851. Hope one of you can help me out here! Regards David
