<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8368207, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks; great picture of the uniform! Your first link doesn&#039;t work. But I have no doubt whatsoever, since there was only one Abel family in Stargard, that there was only one person from there whose name was recorded in military records as &quot;Jeremias&quot; Abel, and that the name Jeremias (fairly common among Gentiles even though of course it derives from the prophet Jeremiah) was some kind of Germanization of the Yiddish German name Gerson/Gershon -- which was also sometimes spelled Jerson -- and would have been identifiable as Jewish. (Unlike the surname Abel, which was used both by Jews and by Gentiles in Prussia.) So this was clearly my relative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
