Croats in WW1 Austro-Hungarian Army

icurkovic — 24 May 2008 3:20:38 GMT

Hello,

I am looking for more information about my great-grandfather, Ante Curkovic (1877-1918) who was born in the Duvno (now Tomislavgrad) region of Bosnia and Hercegovina.

During the last two years of WWI, he was said to have fought for the Austro-Hungarian army in Galicia near the Romanian border. Apparently, he survived the war but died shortly thereafter. A relative told me he died of botulism but church records state that he died as a result of a cold (maybe Spanish flu?).

I tried to rent a microfilm from the LDS of military records but was told that the material was restricted.

I am curious and would like to learn more about him. I will be in Vienna for a very brief period of time late this year and would appreciate any help or pointers in helping me learn more about my great-grandfather.

Austro-Hungarian WW1 Records for Backa Region

Austran Infantry Uniform

ihrytsak — 21 Apr 2008 1:12:02 GMT

After a lengthy on-line research effort, we have come to the conclusion that the 3 men in the attached photo belong to an infantry regiment of the Austro-Hungarian empire. The balls on the lanyard indicate that the men were marksmen or sharpshooters. This is a B&W photo but the balls were apparently red in color.
The photo has not been accurately dated but we believe it was taken in the late 1890's or possibly early 1900's
While we are reasonably certain about this I'm hoping that someone can confirm.
Thanks

Austro Hungarian Army Forum in UK

ctintera_1 — 16 Mar 2008 11:13:53 GMT

I occasionally visit an Austro Hungarian Army Forum that is based, I think, in the UK. It is called "the Austro-Hungarian Land Forces 1848-1918".

Recently the web page changed and is now hosted by "yuko" (similar to our Yahoo?) and since that time I have been view the web site and the page says I'm signed on but I can't add anything to a topic that I started.

Does anybody know this site & perhaps can shed some like on what I'm doing wrong?

austro-hungarian where to abtain military records

utchelbm21 — 26 Jan 2008 8:59:19 GMT

I contacted the vienna military records and got a response in german saying they are in the home country.

My great Grandfather Anthony Jurczak was forced to serve in the Austrian Hungarian army. He is from Galicia province.
He was born in 1864 and immigrated in 1886. I'm guessing he started in 1882.

What was the youngest they were forced to serve?

Should i go to a LDS family ancestry center to see if they have a microfilm of the records?

Thanks

Hello;

are there any databases to search anywhere, to find out if my husband's grandfather was in the austro-hungarian army?

His mother says he talked of the war (it would have to be ww1 as he was in Canada for ww2 and didn't participate), but he didn't emigrate to Canada until 1929.

I don't know where to start to look for him.

His name was Martyn Pazsko (Martin Pashko) BTW.

General Karoly Nemeth

KBorgoy — 9 Nov 2006 11:04:45 GMT

I continue to search for information about the younger brother of my husband's great grandmother. Karoly was born 5-2-1869 in Vizkelet to Kelemen Deisler and Erzsenet Nyeki Nemeth. I do not know his date of death or where he is buried. He was married to Helene Adamy and we believe they had three children. A daughter name unknown married to Gyula Murakozi a pastor at a Reformatus Templon in Budapest, Dr. Lajos Nemeth and a son name unknown who was a artillary officer. We know that Karoly attended the Military Academy at Wiener Neustadt and was awarded the gold Vitez in World War 1. I do not know when he adopted his mother's maiden name. The information that I was able to obtain from the Hungarian Military Museum website shows his name as Deisler. We also believe he taught at the Ludovika Akademia. I would appreciate any information about this family. Thank you, Kathy

Military Uniform Identification

Eoneill34 — 11 Jan 2006 5:28:45 GMT

I have been following, with great interest, this message board regarding the Austro-Hungarian military and in particular the identification of military uniforms.
I've been doing genealogical research for several years now but have come to a stumbling block when it comes to both my grandfathers. I know both were in the war and I assume it would have been WW 1 as they would have been the right age. I recall my mother mentioning that her father was killed in action and I thought she had said it was just behind their village. I never knew what happened to my father's dad and just assume that he was also killed in action as there are no death records for either of them in the village archives where all the other information I have came from.
My hope is that someone reading these boards will be able to give me some insight as to where to look for information about both my grandfathers' military records.
I've attached a picture of both in hopes that someone might recognize the uniforms and be able to tell me where they would have served, so I'd at least have some idea where I should be looking for information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any insights and info!

Hungarian military - pre-WWI

Edith Marino — 27 Apr 2003 2:50:00 GMT

I am trying to find out what regiment, division, etc. my father served in. I only have a b&w picture of him in full dress uniform. He has a sword by his side and his headress is a stiff tall black cap with a visor and a black ostrich feather which goes under a brass chain and down one side of the cap. There is a large brass ball anchoring the feather and just above the visor is a large brass eagle. His jacket has stiff high collar (like a chinese collar) this and the cuffs seem to be a diferent shade than the rest of his jacket. He has a belt with a large brass buckle with a circular emblem on the buckle. The pants seem to be another shade different from the jacket. The picture is 3/4 so I cannot see if he is wearing any boots - I'm guessing he is not.

His name is Istvan Orgovan Born December, 1888 Kisvarda (Szabolcs megye), Hungary and since you had to be 21 before you could serve I estimate he served from 1909/1910 to 1912 (2 years service was required). He emigrated to the US in 1913/1914 and married my mother in 1916 in the US.

I only have this picture to go by, he never spoke of his service and there were no other documents regarding this.

Could anyone please tell me where I could get some information re Hungarian divisions out of Kisvarda in that time frame, or any link to descriptions of the Hungarian uniforms worn by the different divisions?

Thanks very, very much for any help. I am very discouraged as most of the info is limited.

I understand my Grandfather was in the Austrian army in WWI and died during the war. He had two sons, Henry Krc and John Krc. My Grandmother Virginia Krc, my dad Henry and brother JOhn came to the USA after the war, I think. Looking for relatives.

Military Records

J. Hosteny — 18 Dec 1998 12:00:00 GMT

My GGrandfather (and his direct male ancestors) was in the Austrian Army and died in 1889. One record said Graf von Dagenfeld's regiment. The Doms family was in Kleinbosig (now Bezdidice, Czech Republic), Bohemia, Austria. The Nevyhosteny family originated in Vapno, Czech Republic. Both towns very close to each other, about 30 miles n/ne of Prague. Are the records of the Regiment available?...at LDS libraries? Is the name of the regiment correct for that area?
