File this one under d'uh...
In searching for the Seven Years War uniforms of the two Mecklenburg duchies I was drawing a virtual blank. I mean not even Knotel.. That's because the two Duchies are not found under Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz that would be two darn easy, nope they are under Schwerin-Mecklenberg and Strelitz-Mecklenberg for the Seven Years War Period and Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz for the Napoleonic Period. Who thought that one up.

I was bored yesterday and did a little googling... not much to find in the SYW directly... the only mentions I found for regimental names were the ever-popular Erbprinz, a mention of the LiebGrenadiers (every duchy has one), and one mention of a "Von Hobe," but that was from the 1790's.
These links were the best ones I could find, though it's Napoleonic & later in time period...
