Guten Abend,
kannst du deine Anfrage bitte in deiner Muttersprache einstellen?
Das Anliegen in deinem deutschen Text habe ich leider nicht verstanden.
Und welcher Ort soll mit GRATZ gemeint sein? Grätz oder Graz?

Vielen Dank.

Hello christophe,

where did you get the info that your ancestors were mercenaries?
The era we're looking at is one of professional and drafted armies - mercenaries are more of a 1600s thing.
I have a suspicion - are you asking because your ancestors were called "Söldner" anywhere? You see, you misunderstand - Söldner does not refer to "mercenary", but to a certain type of small farmer. There are dozens of words for small farmers, always depending on the region - Häusler, Gütler, Söldner, Gärtner, Viertelbauer, ...
All of them had in common that they were very poor and that whatever small land they had was not able to provide for them - they had to work odd jobs as day labourers in order to survive.

Hi Christophe
Explanation of the word Söldner:

"Söldner (kein Soldat, sondern ein Kleinbauer), der manchmal auch etwas Vieh besaß und in der Regel davon allein nicht leben konnte. Als Tagelöhner oder Handwerker musste er sich zusätzlichen Sold hinzuverdienen. Anders als die Bauern hatten die Söldner meist auch keine Pferde."

Best regards
