"Soldat ved HEr Major Langelands Compagnie"

[gj17733]

Brudgrom Hans Nielsson Egge is described as "Soldat ved HEr Major Langelands Compagnie", on his 27 Oct 1729 marriage record. I am not sure how to interpret that. Is he a Danish soldier from a compagnie from the Danish island of Langeland, or is he a local soldier under the command of a Major Langeland, or ???

Thanks

He is a soldier in a Company under command of Major Langeland. The Record does not tell where he came from, but he was probably from the local area.

With pleasure

Thanks Paul!


Thanks Eric! That is a interesting essay; ...and Ole Arild Vesthagen's website, http://www.oavesthagen.no/, has a lot of other useful information for me! Almost half of my Gran/Brandbu lines lead back to ancestors he has written about.


Thanks Hans! I had only been able to find information up to their marriage record.
