    Kings German Legion 1806


    Recommended Posts

    Hello,

    I received an email from a young lady asking if I might know where she might find some information on a Ernst/Ernest von or de Schmiedern. I thought I'd start here or maybe the German Section :cheers:

    The email:

    Can you help me?

    I am trying to find out about Ernst/Ernest von or de Schmiedern (?-1845).

    He was in KGL 1st Dragoons until december 1806. From March 1807 he was in

    7th Hussars ( Queens Own). At some point he became a Baron, perhaps it came

    with his KH (20/9/26). He had a wife called Clara and an only daughter

    Augusta Clara (1831). Any suggestions where to look?

    thanks,

    barry
