I have recently completed work on a large spreadsheet in Excel which lays out the lineage of all French Infantry Regiments starting in 1567 through to 1789 (including all Regiments disbanded during these years). For each regiment, the spreadsheet shows the year they were raised and all changes in title. It is based entirely on Susane's "Histoire de L'Ancienne Infanterie Francaise". The spreadsheet is in Excel format (1.3MB in size). Please let me know if you are interested in a copy. Send an email to : phil-carrington at virginmedia dot com Please also note that I am continuing work on the document to include changes resulting from the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (based on Digby Smith's "Napoleon's Regiments" but this latter part is unfinished.
There is no charge – producing this was a labour of love but may be of interest to others. And, yes, I do need to get out more.
Please note that I have scanned the document with Norton to ensure it is virus-free but, if you are interested, would strongly suggest you do the same for peace of mind. Regards, Phil |

What a nice thing to do. You get the Star of the Month Award from me. |

Well thank you ! It just seems that there's not much point hogging something like this if others might find a use (even if it might bring men in white coats to take me away…). Phil |

Phil,
Let me suggest you consider using something like 000webhost.com or offer your work to napoleon-series.org to get it on the web. Maybe even Wikipedia. |

Hi chaps, Further to the above, just thought I would let you know that I have now finished work on the French Cavalry and Maison du Roi Lineage listings. This is based mainly on Susane's 'Histoire de la Cavalerie Francaise' together with other work by Digby Smith. Please note that details on five of the short-lived regiments raised in 1652 are missing (pages 201 and 202 are missing from the copy of Vol 3 of Susane's Histoire de la Cavalerie Francaise). I would very much appreciate any input from someone who has access to Volume 3 of Susane's work to contact me and provide the missing details (a scan of the pages would be wonderful). As before, the listing is available on an Excel spreadsheet (2.1 MB). If you are interested in a copy, please drop me an email at :
phil-carrington at virginmedia dot com The spreadsheet is free of charge. Although I have virus checked it, I would again recommend it is checked when you receive it for peace of mind. The infantry spreadsheet has been slightly revised and is still available for those who want it. Best wishes,
Phil

Phil Vol. 3 of Susane is available on Google Books.
It appears to be complete. link Cliff |

Cliff, I've previously had a look at the edition on Google books but can only access very small 'snippets'. Have you been able to access the text ? If so, I would be grateful if you could share your secret ! Cheers, Phil |
| Glorfindel777 | 18 May 2013 7:56 a.m. PST |
Some kind soul on the 'League of Augsburg' Forum has now provided the missing information on the Cavalry s/s. So, it is now complete (although, with any work this size, I have no doubt there will always be errors). Thanks Bryce !

Phil Glad you were able to get the missing pages. I was able to view and download Vol. 3 with no problems.
Google regularly blocks access to some volumes depending on your country, but sometimes there are ways around that.
I'm in Canada and some books are blocked that seem to be available in the U.S. I don't know why Google does this ?? Cliff |
