I would like to say thank you to the many people who have offered advice over the past month about my Schindler family. As I find more information and get a better knowledge more questions arise. I am questioning all data collected to date and would pose a question.
I see from a garrison map I was sent that there was a Hussar Regiment stationed near Olhau. Would anyone know of the exact location of the 4th Husaren and whether married men were part of these units.
Again thank you very much.
Hi Dennis Schindler:

Yes, a part (1 Eskadron) of the 4th Hussar Regiment was stationed direct in Ohlau.
I suspect that also served married men as a hussar. One of my ancestors
was a major in this regiment in Ohlau in 1850. He was married.

Thank you very much. Most helpful. I have sent a letter of inquiry to a
researcher in Freiburg to determine if records for Von Arnim Dragoner and
4th Hussar Regiment are located there. I have a hypothesis that I will test
as I have found a marriage in Brandenburg of people with the same names as
my great grandparents (common names I know (August Schindler and Mary
Pfeifer)). Perhaps there will be some military records that exist.
