Greetings, My cousin and I are traveling to Uivar, Romania, in Oct. We would appreciate any information about our family. We have information from the ship's passenger list of our grandparent's trip to America, but otherwise we can find no further information. It is as though they did not exist. Peter was born May 28, l885, in Uivar. We have discovered several spellings for our surname--including "Vinande" which we are now known by. Peter married Rose Himmel who was born January 27, l884. Her father, Leopold Himmel, was reported to have been a public official in Uivar. I would appreciate any information but would especially be interested in Peter's family. Many thanks, Marvin Vinande Grosse Pointe, MI

Marvin; Both Peter Winandi and Rose Himmel are to be found in the Ujwar family book by Josef Kuhn. Peter is the son of Jakob Winandi and Anna Lukasz and Kuhn suggests that the family came from Gertianosch. Rosalia Himmel, was the daughter of Leopold Himmel and Anna Schmid. Her brother Mathias auswandered to Wyandotte MI in 1907. The Himmel family came to Ujwar from D Etschka. The Ujwar family book is out of print but the D Etschka family book, although also out of print, is available on CD. See Banatbooks.com. You can also get the Ujwar church books on microfilm from the FHL in Salt Lake.
