Wow! That is very interesting! Thank you for the interesting link you send (and in English too!) Very helpful! :)
So - very interesting - will check out what you just sent...
He began his military service in 1710, I don't know what date.
The first tax record I found for him was in 1717, he was already listed as Corporal MÃ¥ns.
The same is true for the GMR, he was not listed yet in 1710 - it says soldier 94 (Tommaryd) is vacant, the 1713 record had no comments for him at all. It wasn't until 1716 and 1717 that I started to find anything written up about him. So I have no idea when he would have been promoted and why. Is there anywhere I could look for that if it is not listed on the GMR?
I will look closer at the other GMR records I have for him and see if there's anything that gives me a clue - maybe the month/day he started, etc.
Actually, I just looked this GMR for 1718, can you tell me what that means:
