Film 7677590_Inf. Reg. 37 (Grosswardein, Transylvania) and Inf. Reg. 38_(Lombardie, Venice)
Österreich. Armee. Infanterie Regiment 038
Language: German
Difficulty: Moderate
Documents: Each Film has approximately 400 pages of handwritten personnel forms
Added 12 November 2016
Issue: Family Search have now digitized the Austrian Military Archives collection of the surviving military personnel records for the Imperial Austrian Army. The films are arranged by regiment number. There is no index to the names in each film. Unless you know the regiment your ancestor served in it is difficult to extract useful information from this collection.
Task: To transcribe the names of Austrian Army personnel from films of regiments connected to Transcarpathian region.
Notes: Item 1 contains data for Inf. Reg. 37 that was based in the Grosswardein district [Nagyvárad HU, Orodea ROM]. Many of the names originate from either Transylvania or Maramaros varmegye. Transcription of Item 1 is now complete. The remainder of the film covers Inf. Reg. 38, which was based on the Adriatic coast. Personnel were recruited mainly from Venice and Lombardie. Therefore this regiment is outside the scope of this project.
To keep this simple, DO NOT use accented letters (diacritics).
For example write 'Janos Kovacs'. DO NOT WRITE 'János Kovács'
