Adding my 2 cents
.
The 1st German Republic was formed in 1871 and dominated by the
Prussians.
Conscription (military service) was mandatory for all males by age 21.
Therefore many who opposed the Prussian dominated government fled or sent
their male children to the USA.
David,
Do you know other possibilities to escape conscription? That's a VERY
interesting topic because I suspect one of my ancestors became a journeyman
to escape it. Could that possibly be?
Thanks, Myri
