they are records of the military personell or establishment of each regiment

officers at the front and raw recruits at the back

I use the Dragon in Randers (dragoon circa 1849)
and found my client's ancestor's military career well charted

when he got promoted to Corporal
he got a new regimental number and a new position in the book

finally he was the equivalent of a Warrent officer class 2
and went to Copenhagen

it would be possible to find out much more
but my client was not that interested in the details

it is serious research full of clerical abreviations
at the moment i am working on 1907 to 1916

I have the muster rolls sorted

when conscription was introduced an army of clerks tried to manage the million conscripts
rewriting their books avery 11 years

it is very technical genealogy
but rich in results
once you learn how to read the records and interpret the abreviations
