I apologize for being a computer Luddite. I'm slowly trying to learn the ways of WIKI. The database I'm using to identify these fellows is one I've compiled myself over a number of years in an attempt to figure out what the former generals of the Empire were up to during the Hundred Days. Other possible links:

- Chernyshev/Chernyshov, Prince Alexander (1785/6-1857). Useful information about him can come from English, French, German, Polish and Russian sources & when the translation goes from Russian through German to English, bizarre things can happen. To confuse matters even more, the Russians were using the Julian calendar when he was born (December 30,1785) but converted to the Gregorian calendar (=January 10,1786), giving him (at least) 2 legitimate dates of birth.
