Chris Boonzaier Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 An auction I was bidding on has Jacob Gustave Rothwange mentioned as having possibly served in the K.u.K. army as an officer in the early 20th century... is this a comman Austrian name? Ancestry has only ONE entry of anyone named Rothwange !!! Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 There is a Johann Rothwangel in the 1914 Schematismus für das k.u.k. Heer und für die k.u.k. Kriegsmarine. He was a Lt. in Schwere Haubitzdivision 11. In the 1916 Ranglisten des k.u.k. Heeres, he was listed as Johann Rothwangl, and was an OLt. No one by the names of Rothwange, Rothwangel, or Rothwangl in the 1913 Schematismus der k.k. Landwehr und der k.k. Gendarmerie or in the 1918 Ranglisten der der k.k. Landwehr und der k.k. Gendarmerie. Maybe Glenn has more info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Its a pretty rare name!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Chris, Dave, no Rothwange in the 1918 edition either. Dave's Rothwangel is by then an Hauptmann. Neither is he listed in the 1918 k.u. Honvéd List. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
