I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the village of Klek, Torontal, Austria-Hungary? I know it isn't known as that now, but I would appreciate any information on what it once was, or is even now. My family, the Bundi's and Steyers were apparently from this area, and I would love to know anything about it. Also, if anyone has any info on either of these family names from that region I would greatly appreciate it!
Mandy; There is a Heimatbuch for Klek by Lorenz Lang entitled, "Geschichte der Gemeinde Klek 1818- 1944", 1977. Used copies have been know to come up for sale on various German antiquate book sites. The book has the usual list of 1944 inhabitents and you will find a number of Bundy and Steyer families with some details listed in this table. The surname Bundy(Bundi) is found frequently in St Hubert and Heufeld and apparently came orgionally from Hatzfeld. It will take some work to determine if the Bundy line in Klek comes directly from Hatzfeld or via St Hubert or Heufeld-Massdorf. I would suspect the latter since the Bundy line was gone from Hartzfeld by 1790. The bottom line is that to make progress on these families you will have to get access to the Klek KBs.
