[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Russian Draft Records

[Beth Burke]

Good Frosty Evening Friends!

 

I am wondering if anyone is aware of a source where I can find Russian draft
records.

 

I am currently researching the surname Tietz, and according to a family
history book that I have, Jakob Tietz was drafted into the Russian Army and
supposedly served approximately 25 years in a "hand-picked guard unit" from
approximately 1848-1873.

 

His eldest son, Louis, was also supposedly drafted and served under Czar
Nicholas.   He went MIA sometime between 1897-1900, ended up in Canada, but
settled in Gillett, Wisconsin.  

 

Stay warm everyone,
