Frohe Ostern everyone, Nick has provide me with the German version of the poem. Wondering if anyone out there has the time and desire to translate it for us all. I'm sure we would all appreciate it. Mary Ann From: ntullius@sympatico.ca To: mahueser@hotmail.com Subject: Peter Jung Poem Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:22:44 -0400 Mary Ann, Here is a more complete version, from the book “Die Donauschwaben” by Anton Valentin (München 1959). Nick Mein Heimatland von Peter Jung, Hatzfeld Das Land , wo meine Wiege stand, wo Wohl und Weh mein Herz empfand, der junge Tag mir zugelacht, als ich in Mutters Arm erwacht, der Wachtel Schlag, der Lerche Sang, mir in die zarte Seele klang, und all der Fluren holdes Grün Als eine Zauberwelt erschien: Das Land, das ist das schönste Land! O Heimatland! Banaterland! Gott segne dich, der segnen kann, Er segne Kind und Weib und Mann!! Und ist die Welt voll heitrem Glück: mich zieht es stets zu dir zurück. Ich mag in dir, mag ferne sein, mit Lieb`und Sehnsucht denk` ich dein; Ich steh zu dir in Freud und Leid, mein ganzes Sein ist dir geweiht. Und sterb ich einst nach diesem Los, sei du mein zweiter Mutterschoß! O Land, du allerschönstes Land! Mein Heimatland! Banaterland! Auf Erden ist kein Land dir gleich, als wärst du selbst das Himmelreich!

Hello, Does anyone know where the information in these pages comes from? http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/ESE/banat_s.htm I'm just wondering how they know how many people were living in these towns in certain dates? Setschafeld lists 731 people in 1931, but other towns list dates of 1910, 1913, 1930, 1940. And it gives percentages of how many were Germans. Does anyone know where this information comes from? I didn't see any sources listed. Thanks, Amy
