In the Perjamosch FB I find a woman Marianna Hollerbach who is listed as "T.v. ... aus RSP." What might that mean? Robert

My father, John Schoenherr, passed away on April 8. He was a great artist, father and husband. He was also half Donauschwaben. His mother was born Franziska Braun in Rudna in 1896 and emigrated to the US in 1914. Her parents, Nikolaus Braun (1860-1941) of Stefansfeld and Anna Toma (1865-1937) of Kathreinfeld, stayed on in the Banat, finally settling on a farm in Tschakowa. As my grandfather was away at sea for long stretches, my father's character was largely shaped by his mother. I never met her, but Dad used to recall how warm-hearted, enthusiastic, and encouraging she was. He also remembered the poppy-seed strudel she made and how she had taught him English by reading the Sunday comics to him. I only began to research my father's ancestry a few years ago, but I'm grateful that I was able to share with him much of what I learned. Many thanks to folks on the DVHH and BANAT lists for helping me along the way. Ian http://ianschoenherr.blogspot.com
