Hi, I'd like to put a request for a look-up on Mathias IGNATZ in Johann Porte, Justine Masching, Vorarbeit für ein Familienbuch der katholischen Pfarrgemeinde Modosch im Banat und ihrer Filialen: Csavos, Fenj, Gad, Schurjan, Todjier, Oredj und Kaptalan.

G'day, I have a question about the Deutsche Afrika Korps and am asking if anyone is familiar with it. I am looking for my family and I have recently discovered my Oppa Franz Kaiser was drafted in 1941 from his home town Gr Betschkerek. He was 17 when he was drafted and was sent to Africa. Later he was sent to Egypt as POW and then returned to Wolfsegg, Austria (not sure when or the time frames). He worked in Vocklabruck building the Flukolager after 1948. I have photos taken in 1941 in Afrika then nothing until his wedding in 1948. I also have photos of the Flukolager being built. My question is does any one know how I find out the information of the men who were sent to AfrikaKorps from Gr. Betschkerek? I am wondering if my Oppa's brothers may have been sent at a later date. Their names are Stephan, Nikolaus and Mathias Kaiser. I am desperate to find my great uncles as they are the only link left in my family that may be alive. I know my family was in Gr Betschkerek at least until the death of my great grandmother Magdalena (Gangl) Kaiser in November 1944. Her husband (Nikolaus Kaiser) was last known to be in Steyr in 1948 but I am not sure if he was with his sons and youngest child Elisabeth Stephania Kaiser (she would have been about 13 or 14 years old at the time). He was at my Oppa's wedding in 1948 but I have no information on who survived and who didn't. I am looking for descendants and hope you can help re-unite me with my lost family. Any help with any information or insight to Banaters in the Afrika Korps would be greatly appreciated.

I think several other newspapers will be available in the future, because only digitised titles can be seen here.

Hello Danube Swabian Researchers, Elisabeth (Lis) Krebs-Schwesinger is researching her parent's family: Maria ENGERT KREBS and Joseph KREBS of BRESTOWATZ, Batschka, who arrived in the US in 1956 via Austria and the Gakowa concentration camp. Lis would like to get in contact with others who are researching the same area and hopefully also whose ancestry charts are in contact with the above family.

I passed by the Mt. Angel exit while coming back from Oregon this week. Can someone tell me about the Banat conference that is held there? I've seen references but don't really know what it's about and I might like to come from Seattle. Sharon in Seattle ----- Original Message -----

Meinhard and Melchior are not the same. Melchior has its seeds in Hebrew (melech -> king or light). Hungarian: Menyhért Meinhard has its seeds in Germanic (megin -> power, strength + hard -> relentlessness) I believe, that the Hungarian Menyhért was translated to the German Meinhard, because it looks more similar.

For those on the Banat mailing list who reside in/near Minnesota but may not be on the DS-TwinCities mailing list, there will be an informal get-together this week to meet with Steve Herold and share whatever new nuggets or experiences our fellow Banaters may have had recently. This event came up quickly and is very much a friendly group date rather than a formal meeting. Anyone with a regional interest will be welcome (i.e., not limited to Donauschwaben ancestry). Information on the event is below: Saturday, July 26 at 1:30 PM at McGovern’s http://www.patmcgoverns.com/ 225 7th St. West - St. Paul, MN
