Gentlemen,

I am trying to help a family who is researching their family history. An ancestor was in the Keksgolm Regiment.

Can anyone provide me with any information or sources related to this unit.

Thank you for your attention and anything you may provide.

Best wishes,

The Life-Guard Keksgolm regiment was a unit of The 3 Guard Infantary Division (Warsaw). Nickname of the regiment was "Austrians" as the regimental chief was Franz Joseph I of Austria.

The main sources related to this unit is in Russian.

Do you have a name, rank or photo of the man?

Sergey W,

Thank you very much for your response and information.

The family members in Russia who have the information are out at dacha - no internet communication.

Once communication is reestablished, hopefully we will get more information which I will then pass on.

Thank you again,
