Hello Diane, Your Binder relatives belonged to the Hrastovac, Slavonia Lutheran church, as that was the closest church for Palesnik, Slavonia. Three Binder Families are noted in the Hrastovac church books: -Georg Binder, *ca. 1837; +1898 in Mali Bastaji, Slavonia, next door to Palesnik. -Johann Binder, *ca. 1860 in Gerenyes/Baranya; + 1899 in Mali Bastaji, Slavonia and his wife Elisabeth Scholler; Children: 1) Katharina *1891 in Mali Bastaji, Slavonia; + 1952 in Seligenstadt, Germany; oo Georg Frey, *1884 in Bikal, Baranya; + 1935 in Mali Bastaji, Slavonia; 2) Johann, 1895-1895 Mali Bastaji, Slavonia -Heinrich Binder and Margaret Reiber godparents in Mali Bastaji in 1895. This might help you to search in the right places for BINDER names. Please look under www.hrastovac.net for more research info on that area. Wish you good luck with your research.

Dear Banaters and particularly those interested in family research of the villages/towns of Ulmbach/Neupetsch/Ujpecs/Peciul Neu, Detta/Deta, Freidorf and Perjamosch/Periam, It is with the deepest sympathy and greatest regret that I share the sad news of the passing of my cousin and our wonderful researcher Tony (Anton) Krämer on March 25, 2010. His burial will be tomorrow in Ingelheim, Germany. The Banat List members, and Banaters in general, have lost a magnificient researcher of a number of Banater villages and publisher of the respective village family books and other publications. Thank you Tony for your magnificient contributions to us fellow Banaters, Your cousin Cornell
