Stephanie; > After 20 years on the Banat list someone after all this time comes up with > ancestors from Bardarski Geran/Macadonia. > Among the various ethnic groups which the Hapsburgs settled in the Banat > was a group of Roman Catholic ethnic Bulgarians. These Catholics moved to > the Banat from Bulgaria where they could join coreligionists. When the > Russians drove the Turks out of Bulgaria and there was a greater degree of > freedom of religion some of the Bulgarians started returning in 1887 to > resettle in their old homeland. In time, firstly in 1893, ethnic German > Banaters begin following these Bulgarians to settle in Bulgaria. The > first group(of many) of seven families of German Banaters moved to > Bardarski Geran in 1893. These families came mainly from Denta, > Gertianosch, Homolitz and D Stamora. The returning Bulgarians came mainly > from Wing, Bulgarische Kolonie and Alt Beschenowa. By 1936 there were > about 90 German Banater families living in Bardarski Geran. Other > Bulgarian towns with Banater colonists were Tsarev Brod/Shumen and > Gostily/Pleven. > An unknown number of these German Banaters in Bulgaria, later left and > came to America(and apparently Australia). > One can document a number of North Dakota Banaters who came via Bulgaria. > These include the Haich brothers, who were born in Neu St Peter but came > from Bardasrski Geran before coming to America, Neumann, Lenhard and > Kussmann. > These remaining Banaters living in Bulgaria were repatriated and resettled > in Germany between 1941 and 1943 according to German Government > policy(Back to the Reich). Apparently the present day location of the > Bardarski Geran KBs is not known. > As you probably know there are several usual web pages on Germans in > Bardarski Geran. > Dave Dreyer > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephanie Benjamin" <benjaminsax@optusnet.com.au> To: <BANAT@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 11:00 AM Subject: [BANAT-L] Roll Call (Stephanie Benjamin) > Hello All > > I am researching the following families and towns.
