I thought that this would be interesting to all on the list. It is a message
I received regarding my request for my grandfather's papers. At least it
shows that I was persistant.
It may answer questions that many of you have asked in the past. I was very
sad indeed when I received this.

Re:
your e-mails from Feb. 18 and 26, Apr. 17 and 25, June 26, 2001 concerning
sergeant Paul Singler, born on January 10, 1881, residence Bukin, Bacska,
Hungary, emigrated to the United States of America in 1914

Dear Mrs. Weber,

In reply to your e-mails we need to inform you that it wasn't possible to
find any data in our archives concerning sergeant Paul Singler. A research
with the NCO's certificates (period covered 1872-1918; years of birth
1828-1893) was negative.

The actual personnel records of the Imperial & Royal armed forces as service
sheets, draft lists, and enlistment registers for other ranks age classes
1850-1900 who were at home in areas outside of the present-day Austrian
Republic, are not in the custody of the Austrian War Archives. They remained
in the successor states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after its breakdown
in 1918 (Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Rumania, Yugoslavia), and
most of them were destroyed.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Christoph Tepperberg
