Ancestry.com - German Casualties in the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-1871

It is searchable and much like searching for a passenger on a ship. It is a long process. Now that I have logged out of ancestry this no longer shows. I will have to scan a copy of one I find. But it is good to know that this source is there.

The Franco-Prussian War (July 19, 1870-May 10, 1971) was a war between France and Prussia, Prussia being supported by the German Confederation and other German states.

I did know Juergen Hch. Wilhelm Meyer's military standing. I have to find the paper in my boxes. However, some of it has been remembered. But not exactly and it is frustrating for me at the moment. About four years ago, I asked about it online several times, I still have failed to run into that again. So, I will have to find the original source.

Wilhelm was taken prisoner and held at Metz France at Christmas 1870. He had typhoid fever or probably typhus and lived, which was not always the case, when one had typhus fever in those days. If your helping me look the word you might look for is the word for typhus. Flecktyphus

So far what I remember is that he was either fifth or sixth captain of fifth or sixth company. The infantier regiment was in the hundreds. Like maybe 136, 137 or 138 or 126, 127 or 128. Something close to that. So I will be frustrated awhile or I will just keep looking under all the Wilhelm Meyer names I am given, when I search.

It takes a lot of time and patience.
Do I have that?
just me jo
