Short translation of letter from archiv

[Paul C]

I would appreciate a translation of the letter I received from the Baden-Wurttemberg Archiv in regards to getting information about an officer, Seitz, in IR170. Thanks

Basically it says that a Hauptmann Seitz is not listed in the existing Kriegsstamrollen from Infantry regiment no. 170. And that a person with a military career as described by you could not be found in the existing personnel files from the XIV. (badischen) Armeekorps.

Well, that's a set-back... where will you turn next??

[Paul C]

The AHRL and the 1914 RL have Sietz in IR170. This leads me to believe that the archive's records are incomplete or they were just to lazy to look and said not found. Per The Master the bar is traced to Sietz.

You are probably right Paul. If you are member of the BDOS in Germany, you can write in every Landesarchiv and they answer you very quickly. Are you a member of the BDOS ? I have received a letter this morning from Baden Archiv. And there is no problem, they found my officer and I need to pay for the files. That's all. Try one more time.

Orrr....

this officer was PRUSSIAN and while "on assignment" was not a "native?"

In this case, Paul have to write to another adress. I will look at this and send a pm.
