Dear Madam/Sir,
Good luck in 2021. May I pose a question to you about a handwriting of my ancestor, the Swedish fieldmarshall count Johan August Meijerfeldt (1725-1800)?
Bertil Steckzén – in his book “Västerbottens Regementes Officerare till 1841. Biografiska Uppgifter Över Officerare Och Likställda Vid Västerbottensfännikan Och Västerbottens Regemente”, Umeå 1955 – quotes a long anecdote from his resumé. I do not see his source.
A first place to look for meritförteckningar is of course your Krigsarkivet. I found two, linked to his appointment as chief of the Närke-Värmlands Regiment (SE/KrA/0321/I/30 page 265) in 1788, but those ones just list short facts. Obviously there is another longer and perhaps older version, written by himself. Are you aware of such a version and if yes, could you give me some details (whereabouts, length, possibility to order a scan, after COVID-19 permits).
Thank you in advance,
Hugo von Meijenfeldt
