Dear forum,
I am a Finnish citizen and cannot really understand German language.
My wife's 6th great grandfather was a soldier Gottfried Muller from Stettin. He joined Swedish army in Goethenburg in 1748 and was transferred to Finland where he stayed since.
I would like to find more information about this guy. I am particularly interested in his family (siblings, ancestors; what are his roots) but also about the life of his family in Stettin.
I have him here:https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61...156&cc=3015626
Johan Gottfried born in 25.6.1727 (father Gottfried, mother Regina Schroeder). I find him later in Swedish army records and from there I can track him. But what about his family and life in Stettin? Are there records for city burghers ( in Swedish records his dad is referred as a burgher), what profession did his father have? Did Gottfried have any siblings?
Any other research tips and links to records are extremely helpful..I would also love to know what is actually written in the record I linked above. I cannot understand the handwritten part.
I would be delighted if somebody could help me out!
