My Great Grandpa served as a Col of a regiment During Napoleonic Wars, I follow after him :)
It is impossible that your great-grandpa was a colonel in the Napoleonic Wars and it is impossible for you to be a colonel in the Napoleonic Wars.

It's kind of difficult to be sure if you ha family members who fought. The records weren't excellent and I doubt there are that many surviving.

My family was still living in Ulster, Wales, and Sweden when the wars happened, so I think it's not too far fetched to say one of them was desperate enought to join the British or Swedish armies.
