Hi List, Can anyone tell me which Familybook or Parish Opava/Oppowa/Konigsdorf is associated with? I am completely brick walled with my Seltsam relatives and looking for any infor on a Josef Seltsam and Marx Seltsam. Marx Seltsams Passport Application says that he was born in Opava in 1881 and I believe that Josef is his father. I do not know where Joseph is from but his parents names are Johann and Anna Gunther. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks Dar
Hi Dar, The following info on Oppowa is from the Village Index on the GenealogyNet web site -- a great resource. It looks like it always had it's own parish, but I do not know if there is a Familienbuch for Koenigsdorf/Oppowa. The LDS did microfilm some of the church records, but the dates are prior to the date you are looking for, so probably won't be much help until you can trace back one more generation. http://www2.genealogy.net/reg/ESE/ds_idx.htm Sorry I can't be more helpful, --Karen Königsdorf Village Names: German: Königsdorf, Oppowa Official: Opovo Hungarian: Opava Spelling and/or dialect variants: Location: Country: Yugoslavia 40km S of Großbetschkerek Postal Code: 26264 Railroad station: Genealogical Records: Village name in FHL records: Koenigsdorf, Oppowa, Opava Church records available at FHL: Christenings 1766-1872, Marriages 1766-1872, Deaths 1766-1872 FHL Microfilm Nr. 1190408, 1271585 On Jun 7, 2010, at 11:18 AM, darkaso@yahoo.com wrote: > Hi List, > > Can anyone tell me which Familybook or Parish Opava/Oppowa/ > Konigsdorf is associated with?
