Austerlitz
Hello everyone,
One of my ancestors, of Czech origin, was most likely taken prisoner at the Battle of Austerlitz (he was fighting for the Austrians). After his captivity (where?), he settled in Paris and started a family. Where can I find records confirming his status as a soldier and then as a prisoner? The Austrian military archives haven't responded, and the French archives don't seem to have any records of ordinary soldiers. His name was Adam Burianek, and he was born in 1782 in Vlašim.
Than you in advance,
Eric

Might the obituary in the Paris papers contain any detail of his military service or time in captivity which might mention additional levels of detail or reference units or locations which would allow added sources of study?
