Hi Charles, There is one listing in Marienfeld book for KOTZIAN, but that was the closest result to KOTSCHI. But from the info in Amalia's marriage record, it sounds like she was born in Reschitza. The village "Reschitza banya" is another name for the village of Reschitza. The following is from the Village List at the geneolgy.net web site -- http://www2.genealogy.net/reg/ESE/ds_idx.htm I don't really know much about this village, or whether there might be a Familienbuch. Someone else on the List may be able to help.

Karen, Thank you so much for your time and information, I know more now than I did before. I will try to find out more about the village "Reschitza banya" The records and the observation notes seen to contradict each other as to place of birth. The mystery continues.
