Hello,
I think you need to have a lot of chance to have someone giving you informations. I know that compared to number of army soldiers, falschirmjager were only a few but a regiment has something like 2,500 men. I would be surprised if only a listing of FJR1 members exists somewhere in the world...
But in case of... I'm also searching for informations about a FJR1 member : Obergefreiter Armin Hassenbach from 2nd Btl.
I have a nice document that I would like to post for everyone's pleasure but I'm not member actually. Would Willi or John be nice to post it for me ?
Thanks by advance

For those looking for names etc. on FJR1 and FJR2, and also other German units involved in the Fall Gelb attack on the Netherlands, there are some list vissible on the internet:
A list of all known fallen German soldiers 1940:
www.grebbeberg.nl, choose "Militair Ereveld" (top page)
nect page bottom left, under "Register Duitse gevallenen" choose "geheel nederland".
Fallen FJ's near Dordrecht(and their units):
http://www.dordtopenstad.nl/
choose top page "Dordt open stad", then bottom left "Namenregister gesneuvelden" . then on the left side off the page, all German namens, hit page number behind the name(in red) more info(when, where, date etc.).
More later, i'm having a visiter at this moment.

And here we go again.
On www.mei1940.nl there's a list of wounded german soldiers in hospitals:

namens marked with + are KIA, * are wounded and [] are POW.
At home I have a list of > 500 German POW's taken mai '40 in the Netherlands. Found it at the Dutch Army historical center. Some 800 were send to England without their namen written by the Dutch.
last but not least: downed planes Netherlands 1940 with names of crews and units:
