Need help locating a family link
Hi,
I've located my great-great-great-grandfather: Mathias Persak in Austria in a village called Roßhaupt. This is a place where he got married in 1817 (link below) and had children but he wasn't born there.
https://www.portafontium.eu/iipimage/30067937/rozvadov-04_0190-o
They didn't spell his name correctly at first but in later entries it is all OK. He was a k.k. soldier in the 6th Cordons Compagnie from Roßhaupt, some sort of a military border guard.
My question is, how can I find out his date and place of birth? Are there any military records that can be checked?
Please help, as I am stuck at the moment and cannot continue any further.
Thank you.
Adam P.

Do you have a death record for him? Does it mention his parents?
You could also try checking the places where his surname is found today: it looks like Peršák or Pilšák are both very uncommon surnames. Another variation may be Plzák https://www.kdejsme.cz/seznam/prijmeni/P
This tree on MyHeritage says he was born in 22 February 1789 Sobesice, Bukovnik, Bohemia, there are a lot of Europeans on that site, so it's usually worth checking. You could try contacting her and asking where that came from: https://www.myheritage.com/person-3500040_628301621_628301621/mathias-persak#!events
There is an entry for a Matej Plzak on that date in Bukovnik parish, but whether or not that is the same person would be harder to prove: https://www.portafontium.eu/iipimage/30060737/bukovnik-08_0875-n?x=4&y=242&w=486&h=266
