Query Text:

Fellow Researchers: Between 1920 - 1932 my mother was married to Friedrich Jaeger, Ritter von Jagstthal in or around Karlsbad, (former Sudetenland), Now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. My mother's name was 'Adele Becher' Date of Birth: May 21, 1897 in Donawitz #36 (Stanovice). I was born in March of 1933! If you have information, or can help me find this marriage please contact me. Here are recent discoveries concerning my father: Sir Friedrich Jäger Ritter von Jagsttal He was born in Prague on July 26, 1894 and registered for Military Service as a Lieutenant in 1914. He served from 1914 - 1926. Drafted while attending the University of Prague he was transferred to Olomouc (Olmütz) one year later. "Olomouc", (Olmütz), was located in Moravia, (Czechoslovakia) after 1919. Before 1919 it belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The records show that his name changed from Friedrich to Bedrich after 1919. However, his record at the Artillery Regiment, Battery #102, in Olomouc, (Olmütz) shows his name as: "Friedrich Jaeger Ritter von Jagsttal" Many of these Military Units kept their names and designations, though, they just changed nationality as national borders were moved or re-drawn. Records show that he reached the rank of Colonel: Money / wealth / influence / education / standing! His brother, Oskar Jaeger, born November 30, 1896, too, was a Artillery Officer at the 233rd Artillery Regiment, Battery #35, though from the records it is not clear where he served. A "Domicile Certificate" was issued on 8/17/1931 at Chomotice, (Komotau near Karlsbad). It is noteworthy that an entry in Emil and Adela's (Parents of Friedrich and Oskar) record shows their children as: "Friedrich" and "Oskar". Therefore, throughout my father's history, he used "Friedrich" and "Bedrich" interchangeably, depending on the time frame, i.e. Austria or Czech; 1919 being the focal point in history. Also, I think the same is true for the spelling of the last name, i.e. "Jaeger" vs. "Jäger". The original Ritter von Jaxttal was knighted by the Royal Family at Kirchberg/Jagst, Schwäbisch Hall, Hohenlohe, (Now Baden-Württemberg) around 1812 for outstanding achievements in medicine (Ophthalmology); a "Grey Star" operation technique which is still in use today. It seems that Kirchberg was home for many family members named Jaeger. All of them medical doctors that for one reason or another made meaningful contributions to the medical profession. He was born in Prague and after his Military Service in 1926 he became a Jeweler. The Czech Government tells me that he managed his father's jewelry business. There is a "power of attorney" (executed during the Czechoslovakian period), that authorizes "Bedrich" to manage his father's affairs including the family jewelry companies which apparently came from Vienna, Austria in the early-to-mid 1800's. Entry in Company Registry: "This is a request to verify that Friedrich / Bedrich Jaeger may act as a business representative for his father Emil Jaeger's Jewelry Business." "As per your request of 2/9/1926 we declare that Bedrich (Friedrich) Jaeger, born in 1894 and residing in Prague at #1804 Prague II is authorized to conduct business as there are no known restrictions." Please help me find him. Thanks! Rudi kies@kies.org P.S.: Please see the Book at www.kies.org/index.html for more details.
