Rote Numbers Used per Company - Södermanland Regiment

When you are searching for a soldier in the military sources, for example the General Muster Rolls (GMR), it would be of great value to know which rote numbers that were used by the different companies in the regiment. There were two series of rote numbers; one for the entire regiment running from 1 to 1200 and another one within each company running from 1 to 150.

In the general muster rolls the companies are listed in order of rank and not in order of the company number (and therefore not in order of the rote numbers). First in rank is the Colonel's Company (the Life Company), then the Lieutenant Colonel's Company and in third place the Major's Company. During the last period of the Allotment System there were also a Second Major's Company and a Third Major's Company. These names were assigned two companies and they were then moved upward in order of rank. Apart from the three first companies in rank, the order of the companies could have varied over the years.
