Please help finding Niels Christian Nielsen on Levying Rolls?

[Roger Nelson]

I cannot find Niels Christian Nielsen (b. 5 Nov. 1854 in Gummerup) in the Levying Rolls for Odense amt.
He departed Køng sogn, Odense amt for Verninge sogn, Odense amt 2 May 1872.

Would he have registered for the first time in Verninge sogn or Køng sogn?

Best wishes, Rog

I think I found him in 3rd Udskrivningskreds, 1872 X Tilgangsrulle:

Thanks, Lisa & Helmer for your search.  Another question if you don't mind.

Could you tell me at what age he would have first registered and was he a soldier in 1876?
Mange Tak & Kindest regards, Rog

[Helmer Christiansen]

1869-1912 men were first registered in the calendar year they turned 18.

From Lægdsrulle: 3. Udskrivningskreds, X, 1872 Tilgangsrulle  Lægd 136 - 275, opslag 164 you can see that he first met as soldier for 6 months from 25/4 1876.
Next time 6 weeks from 14/6 1877 and finally 1 month from 29/6 1879.
He was 61½ Danish inches tall.

Hi Helmer,

Thank you.  I see he was discharged 1/91 but just above that is 2/84.
What is the abbreviation, Fst or Frt?
I do not see anything on the abbreviation list that might explain it on less I missed something.

[Helmer Christiansen]

Fst could be short for Forstærkningen (Reinforcements, reserve troops).
The conscripts were deleted from lægdsrullen at the age of 38. It fits pretty well with born in 1854 and removed in 1891.

Very good, thank you!
