Some years ago we had an extensive discussion of the classic German film, "Ich denke oft an Piroschka". This movie was filmed in the Banat about 1953 and recounts a visit of a German student with a family in the Banat. It contains many scenes which illustrate Banat life in the interwar years. At the time this matter came up on the list it was a trial to find a VHS source of the film. Dolores Barber tells me that the film is now available on DVD through German Amazon. Dave Dreyer

FYI According to the 1910 census Rekasch had 4321 inhabitants Out of that 1832 were German, 1236 Hungarian, 970 Sokatz, 215 Romanian. Religion: 3965 Roman Catholic, 230 Greek Orthodox, 53 Jewish. Sokatz is a Southern Slavic nation, they were Roman Catholic. Best regards, Boglárka

Hi, I guess this is for Dave Dreyer. Is there a USD price when ordering the Lugosch CD through you? Primarily, though, I wonder based on what you said about Lugosch being an important administrative center, and one of the earliest settled places in the Banat, if I have no known family activity there, would that just be a total shot in the dark for me to get it? Thanks, Marilyn (Searching HEH, HOFFMANN, DILL/TILL in Ernsthausen; CHRIST, GESTRICH in Hatzfeld)

According to information published at http://www.kulturraum-banat.de/ Rekasch was first mentioned in 1359. Apparently it always had a truly multicultural population. Some more recent population numbers are as follows: In 1930: 4210 inhabitants, out of which 1687 (40.1%) ethnic Germans In 1992: 4905 inhabitants, out of which 202 (4.1%) ethnic Germans. Note that a large number of Germans left their villages and the only homes they ever knew after the fall of Ceausescu in 1989. According to a story, dated 06/15/1859, by Stol Nànyi, village notary in a Batschka village, and self-described as "schokazisch": "... The Schokazen or Schokatzen, Sokácok in Hungarian, Šokci in Serbian, are descendants of late 17th-century Serb refugees from the former southern Hungary and the Raska Herzegovina, a subgroup of ivakian Croats..." I have to correct my perception that they were just simply Croats.

Peter; I am no expert on the various branches of orthodox religion so I am skating on thin ice in making any comments. First of all Rekasch is a large village and is less than 50% ethnic German. I assume the remainder is Romanian. If there is not a orthodox church in Rekasch or nearby then kids would have to be baptized in a Roman Catholic church. In such cases there would be a note in the KBs that the kid(or his parents) were orthodox. But with a village with such a large orthodox population I would think there would be a orthodox church. If, as you say, there are ca 100 Miok and Miokovich entries in the Roman Catholic KB then I have to assume that the authors of the book omitted them purposely. If the surname Miok/Miokovich is not Romanian, German or Serbian what is it? Bulgarian? Czech? To directly answer your question. What is the purpose of the Rekasch family book? It appears it is to document of the ethnic German community in Rekasch. It does not seem to be a big problem should you want to research the Miok surname. The Rekasch microfilm is available---I believe that Craig has a set----it is only necessary to go through it and pick out your guys. As an aside to Craig and others possibly interested. We got this film ca 1998----some years ago. It was azo film rather than silver halide film. It is less stable than silver film and last time I looked at some of it I was wondering if it was starting to deteriorate. If one wanted to preserve the originals perhaps it would be wise to convert it to digital format. Dave Dreyer ----- Original Message ----- From: PETER MIKE To: Dave Dreyer Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 10:30 AM Subject: Family Books Dave: I have read all of the comments about family books. I have also conversed via email with Craig Windt about family books. He said I should see what you have to say about my questions. First a couple of statements of fact: Reviewing the FHL Microfilm Rekasch Catholic Church Records 1740 to 1840, I identified 100 entries for Miokovich and Miok, Surnames (you suggested that I send and email to the list asking if Miokovich meant son of Miok? The answer was ov- is son of and ic- is from). There are no Miokovich or Miok families in the Rekasch Family book, 1740-2002 as verified by Craig Windt. Sorin suggested that there is a 99.99% probability that Romanian and Serbian Surnames are not Roman Catholic. Deduction: Since the Miokovich/Miok Surname does not appear in the Rekasch Family Book and appears with 100 entries in the catholic church records, the name is not Romanian, Serbian, or German. Questions: What do you think about the Deduction? In a nutshell, what is the purpose of the Rekasch family book and other family books? Thank you in advance Peter C.

Hello, In the census of the year 2000 49 Million Americans claimed to have German roots. The first Germans arrived in 1608 to Jamestown (Virginia) as per the new German Heritage museum in Washington, DC: http://www.gahfusa.org/gahm/gahm.html If you happen to be traveling through Washington, DC, be sure to visit the museum. It is on the 719 6th Street NW. See you all in Mt. Angel, Rosina www.hrastovac.net
