Hi Mike Thanks for the info, I found that 2 but am not sure about the legibility of the site and I was looking for more historical data on the order David

Would anyone of you have an idea on where to find out some info or the historical registers of the tuscan order of st joseph? Google did not seem to really work.... Thanks David

Thanks Webr55!!

Dear Gents! I am looking for the entry in the DOA 1908/09 of Generalleutnant Adolf Deines. He was the grandson of Johann Michael Ritter von Deines who received the austrian Ritterstand in 1847 as kurhessian Geheimer Finanzrat. Adolf recieved the prussian nobility in 1910. Hope to find out about his awards. Thanks a lot David

Hi Stogieman! Does Nimmergut mention numbers of awards with years and things like that? Regards David

I see!! To bad they were all destroyed, but I'll go and ask the statesarchiv in Darmstadt if they can loook up the person I am searching for (again von Steuber). Thanks for your help Andreas and Dave Bye for now David M

Hi Andreas! Thanks!Are there any books on this order or its members? David

I know the Order of Philipp the Magnanimous order was founded in 1849, but which order was awarded by the Grandduk befor that, how did it look and would anyone know where to get a hold of the Matrikel? Thanks David

Hi Daniel!! Thanks for the data! Did you really digitalize the whole book? To bad you cant put it on the internet because of the copyrights. I really love these kind of books, I just bought myself the book on the Order of the Union of the napoleonic Kingdom Holland (1806-1811) Which is really great. Bye for now David

Hi Daniel Thanks!! As I am not to familiar wih the royal saxon orders, what would the name of the order be in German? Just Verdienst-Orden? How is the book featured? Is it easy to look people up? Are they in alfabetical or chronolochicle order? Thanks David

Could anyone tell me if the kurhessian embassador to Dresden for a while (1831-1833), Christoph Heinricyh Wilhelm von Steuber is mentioned in the book by Erhard Roth: Die Verleihungen des Hausordens der Rautenkrone, des Verdienstordens, des Verdienstordens mit Schwertern (bis 1914) sowie der Damenorden des K?nigreichs Sachsen with grade and date of decoration? I do not know whuch awards he receuved, expecting it to be the Hausorder of the Rautenkron Thanks a lot David

That's great, thanks. As I remember, it does not give a more exact date then just the years, right? David

Dear members, would anyone have this book and could you tell me if the kurhessian Ambassador Christoph Heinrich Wilhelm von Steuber is mentioned with the rank and date of his award? Klenau, Arnhard Graf Die Verleihungen des preu?ischen Roten Adler Ordens in der ersten und zweiten Klasse von 1810 bis 1854 Offenbach, PHV-Verlag, 1997 Thanks, David

Hi Daniel Thanks, I knew it was something like that!! Would there be any source/book were you got the info from? Are there any books mentioning this in either german or english? Thanks David

That would be great, thanks George

Well that is what I recall too!!! Everywhere I look the Black and red birds are together

Hi Pete Thanks, glad I am not losing my mind here, it is a rather unique arrangement right? I never heard of an other country with such rules hope someone else has more details about this, maybe with some sources even?! David

Gents! I don't know if I am right here but I remember the fllowing and don't know if I am right. The orders of the Russian Empire rank ofcourse, the one is higher than the other. The point is that I read somewhere (cant remember where) that when someone received the a higher order it automaticaaly meant that he was knight of the lower ranking orders to. I remember reading thing like, "Knight of the Imperial Russian Alexander Newsky Order etc., etc." the etc. would than stand for the automatically lower orders such as the Wladimir Order. Am I right or just going a bit crazy here? Hope you can help me out thanks David

Dear Members! Would anyone of you have a Staatshandbuch from the Grandduchy of Hessen? I would bes especially interested in the decorations worn by the Granddukes Ludwig III. Ludwig IV. Ernst Ludwig I. as well as the members of the Orden vom goldenen L?wen, the former kurhessian order which was awarded since 1876 by the Grandduke of Hessen und bei Rhein which I expect to be mentioned in the Staatshandb?cher. Thanks for any help David M.

Dear Gents! Would anyone of you have this book in his library? I am especially interested in the description it gives of an action of the Regiment von Kospoth in 1789, this should be on the pages 405 and 406 according to my source. Apperantly there was some kind of struggle near Hanau in that year. I am interested because one of my ancestors served as a Corporal, later Sergeant in the Regiment von Kospoth around this time. Thanks in advance David M.

Hi Dani?l, thanks that's what I was looking for. David

Dear Gent's I am looking for a picture of a prussian Seefliegerabzeichen...couldn't find one on google? Thanks David

Especially the biography section.....and the fact that he will post the bio's you send him

Hi Wild Card, well than he did not get it, as he died not sooner than 1878. Thanks for checking though! David
