Re: a Prussian ĞRangier Rolleğ... *LINK*

A Rangier-Rolle was the list of soldiers of a company, ordered by their height. (see link below)

Here ist is the 5th company (= 1st company of the 2nd battalion, therefore it includes the Bataillonss-Tambour) of the 1. Schlesisches Infanterie-Regiment. The recruits from Erfurt indicate it is not earlier than 1814, and on 5th November 1816 the name of the regiment was changed to 10. Infanterie-Regiment (1. Schlesisches).

Rangier-Rolle
Von der 5ten Compagnie des 1ten Schlesischen Infanterie-Regiments

The part with all the 150+ privates of the company is missing

What is shown are the following groups.

[Unteroffiziere - they are sorted by anciennity, not by height]
Charge [Feldwebel or Sergent]
Vor- und Zuname
Maas [height, in Zoll and Strich above 5 feet]
Alter
Dienstzeit [by Jahre and Monate]
Vaterland [giving Ort, Kreis and Provinz, if the soldier is from a town, "Stadt" is written in the column for "Ort"]
Religion [Lutheranisch, Reformiert or Katholisch]
Profession [I can decypher only "Müller"]
Beweibt [married]
Kinder [Söhne and Töchter]
Wo sie sonst gestanden [regiments they had served in before - obviously nobody cared to fill out this column]
Vermerk [additional notes]

Spielleute [drummers and buglers, the first one is the Bataillons-Tambour]
[I have no idea how the order of the three ordinary Spielleute was determined]

Ueberzählige [supernumeraries: one Unter-Offizier too much in this company]

Rekruten. [listed by hight]
