Hi Kristian, 

Thank you for your translation and help.  I appreciate your assistance and your offer to do further research.  Am looking forward to what you may find.

For everyone's sake I hope the virus threat does not last long.  May you and your family remain in good health.

Med venlig hilsen,
Rog Nelson

Hi Roger

I think I used a wrong word, "advanced", I think the right word is "promoted".

He is here as well as No. 100:

As I wrote in a separate email, the National Archive has blocked for access to the original Divisionsbøger, which is a bit sad, as the scans that you can see on Arkivalier Online are quite bad. So I will probably not be able to help you with better scans and reading of the text.

Thank you for your good wishes, the same to you!

Kind regards
Kristian
