    Soldiers and Refugees of the Polish Insurrection of 1830-1831

    Anyone with POLISH, LITHUANIAN, UKRAINIAN, RUSSIAN or PRUSSIAN ancestry can request a search of the original documents relevant to the Polish, Lithuanian and Russian refugees who had fought in the Polish Revolution of 1830-1831 and who chose to emigrate to America rather that accept the "amnesty" offered by the Czar of Russia.

    The information contained in these original archival records includes all or most of the following: a) first and last name, b) religious affiliation, c) age, d) place of birth (city/town/province/country), e) marital status, f) profession and/or military rank and unit before and after the Revolution, g) physical description of each man (build/facial features/color of eyes and hair), h) dates of transport from point of surrender to internment, i) names and numbers of men and route from internment to port of embarkation, j) Ship's names and dates of sailing and manifests listing each refugee and his profession/military rank signed by Ships' Captains and k) "Declaration of Intent" (refugees' statements in their own words regarding their intention to travel to America).

    For a small fee you can learn if one of your ancestors was one of these young men who chose liberty in America rather than oppression and near certain execution at home. You can obtain the wealth of information contained in the records about that one individual, including photocopies of the original documentation and an English translation.

    Osterreichisches Staatsarchiv Kriegsarchiv
    Sanok & Przemysl 1773 + Military Records
    (reprinted with permission of Olga Kaczmar)
    For research pertaining to persons in this archives, certain data is necessary: family name, first name and year of birth as well as birthplace and/or hometown.

    2) The actual personnel records of the Imperial & royal armed forces, as service sheets, draft lists, and enlistment registers for other ranks, who were at home in areas outside of the present-day Austrian Republic, are not in the custody of the Austrian War Archives, but remained in the successor states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the breakdown of the Habsburg Empire in 1918 where most of these records were destroyed.

    3) The war casualties records kept in our archives refer to World War I only.

    4) The Austrian State Archives do not keep any church-books of civilian parishes, but only from the military parishes of the Imperial & Royal armed forces. There you can find entries of soldiers (marriages and deaths), and of their wives and children (marriages and births) but only if the action took place during service.

    The appropriate military districts of Sanok & Przemysl were the following Imperial and Royal infantry regiments
    If you want, you can check the older service sheets (years of service 1820-1869) and the parish registers of these units:

    a) on microfilm at LDS but they have our parish registers recorded up to 1886 only, or

    b) we can give you name and address of a researcher in Vienna who could do this research for you for a charge. But the research will be very time-consuming and expensive.
