Greetings all,
I am looking for any piece of information that could lead me to the birth record of my great-great-grandfather, Gustav NEHRING (possibly Gustav Otto NEHRING). According to the family memories, he was a veterinarian serving in the Austro-Hungarian army, probably somewhere close to Sambor, Galicia. He was married to Karolina Müller, probably in 1902, and their four children, including my great-grandmother Fryderyka, were born in Sambor. There is also a single surviving family photo.
Other than these rather dim family memories, I only have the record of Gustav's death, published in Verlustliste 699, p. 37:
https://digi.landesbibliothek.at/vie...te_Nr_0699/37/ - for now, this is basically my only source of robust information; born 1872, served in Reitende Schuetzenregiment nr. 3 as Oberbeschlagmeister, came from Vienna.
To date, I did the following:
1) I have read indexes to all baptism books spanning year 1872 (usually +/- several years) for all but few Viennese Roman-Catholic parishes available on Matricula-Online. The few that I did not read had illegible handwriting. The only book that included a family named NEHRING was St. Leopold parish, consistent with a GenTeam search. The NEHRINGs from St. Leopold were apparently several years younger than my ancestor. Earlier books from st. Leopold do not seem to include an older generation of the NEHRING family.
2) Using https://namenskarten.lima-city.at/en/ I noticed that the family name NEHRING is rather rare in Austria, today occurring mostly in and around Linz, in Braunau district, in Vienna and in Amstetten district. Am I right in assuming that the latter two would be consistent with the Heimatrecht Niederoesterreich, as indicated in the Verlustliste? Unfortunately, if I am not mistaken, Matricula-Online includes fewer resources for Amstetten than for Vienna, so at present there is not that much to look through.
Am I missing any important piece of information from the Verlustliste death notice? The Verlustliste information is probably enough to start searching in the Austrian military archives, but before I do so, I'd like to try and use any existing online resources to learn more about Gustav Nehring and find his parents and earlier ancestors. Any suggestion from anyone more experienced in researching Austrian roots would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps anyone out there is a descendant of a related branch of the Austrian Nehrings?
Many thanks in advance.
