    1. Good afternoon!

       

      I am looking for the entry if J.R. v. MOTZ in the Stammliste of FR 34. According to what I found sofar, he entered the Regiment 16.05.1816 and was pensioned somewhere in 1820.

       

      As he also served in the nassovian army in the 1808-1814 era, he is mentioned in the Stammliste on IR 87 by Hildebrand as well. However not all of his prussian dates seem to be included in the IR 87 entry.

       

      As the Stammliste of neither FR 34 or IR 87 are not online and this v. Motz is not mentioned in the online Offiziersnomenklatur, I am hoping to find help here.

       

      Thanks in advance

    2. Hi

       

      I would like to know if there is any way in I can get information on

       

      Gustav v. Albedhyll/Albidyll (1790-1863) who stood in a swedish unit from 1813-1815 entered as Lieutenant, coming from württemberg militairy service and left for prussian service when he was a Captain.

       

      I would like to know if possible when he stood in which unit as well as his promotion date to Captain. 

       

      Any suggestions most welcome

       

      Regards

    3. I did see on some page there was no commander mentioned and v.B. as etatm. Stabsoffizier.

      As my focus lies with the careers of (former) kurhessian officers, I did not look into this.

      The GGT are online as well? Or do you have access to them in a library close to you?

      Yes, of course, David ... keep up the great work! Let me add a couple of things: Gotha 1928 and 1940 both have his birth name as Alexander Christian Ludewig von Bastineller and death place Münster (7. Brigade), which would make sense. Carl Gottlob (1764–1830) as of Gotha. Not Gottlieb and not 1767. Biographisches Handbuch der preußischen Verwaltungs- und Justizbeamten 1740-1806/15 (p. 44) writes, Carl Gottlob tried to enter the Prussian Army, but was refused. Carl Gottlob was also made a Freiherr/Baron of the Kingdom of Westphalia on 13 May 1813, this was although not recognized by Prussia therefore never listed.

      Did you find the additional sources online as well? The Gotha and the Handbuch on verwaltungs- und Justizbeamten?

      As of the Rangliste 1850, he was Oberst and Brigadier of the Land-Gendarmerie (7. Brigade. Münster) with RAO4 and DAK. It can be assumed, that he also received the Kriegsdenkmünze für die Befreiungskriege (Preußen). 

      Great, Thanks! Could you provide a link to the source? Would like to add it to my bio on him on my site.

      Hi!

      I found a von Bastineller in the army of Westphalia, squadron chief in the light cavalry of the Guard, major in the same regiment (02/06/1810) and colonel of the 2d cuirassiers (04/20/1811). Knight of the Crown of Westphalia (02/05/1810) and knight of the Legion of Honor.

      I don’t know if he is the same or a member of the same family.

      That would be his brother. They are both on my site

      Thats a great addition! Is this from the ranklists as well?

      A picture of him would be great, anyone. Thanks! Only RAO4? Could he have been the son of Generaladjutant Wilhelm Burghard Rüppel, later„von Helmschwerdt“?

       

      PS:

      What is funny, I found three Hessian sources (1, 2, 3), and the name is always spelled Helmschwerd without "t". 

      He was the son of the General. Although he was ennobled as R. v. Helmschwerdt, the t seem to have been dropped early on. Its not uncommon.

    7. Hi!

       

      Thanks for your efforts! So his final prussian odm

      ROA4

      DAK

      EK2

       

      Could you provide the source you found the details about him? I would love to add these to his entry on my website later on.

       

      Maybe he dropped the former civilian part of his last name. His father however was ennobled with the additional predicate of v. H. in 1818. Anyway R.v.H. was the name our later colonel was born with in 1823.

       

      Thanks again
