Chris Boonzaier Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Jup, ancestry does some terrible things with names. Paul Irnis' last name has 4 Variations.... but none are correct..... 5th Company Infanterie Leib Regiment with a silver Bravery medal for Verdun.... I was veeeery happy to find this! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Could you show us the article of ancestry, please? You wrote: Frins, Iruis, Jruis and Trnis. In german language only Frins makes sense. Edited October 9, 2016 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hi, all of the 4 used by ancestry were wrong, all transcription errors.... the real name is Irnis, he is listed in the Bavarian Bravery medal book as being in the 30 b.I.R. but he was in the Leib Regt until being wounded on the 28th of June 1916 at Ve4dun. Irnis was the man who along with 2 comrades dug the Bavarian Prince and his staff out of the celler whose entrence had collapsed under bombardement at Fleury, the next day he spent hours under enemy artillery fire salvaging the body of the Battalion 2 ic.

Chris Boonzaier Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hi, I found him on ancestry by entereing his first name and birth date. As I said, the people at ancestry transcribed Irnis on 4 different records with the name as shown in the title ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
