Hello. I am looking for any records pertaining to Danube Swabian Germans who lived for multiple generations in Hungary, emmigrating from Kowatschi/Covaci. Josef GUTEKUNST and Barbra (PAULUS) GUTEKUNST were both born in approximately 1870, probably in Kowatschi/Covaci. Josef had a first wife (don't know her name; she may have been Romanian but this is a guess) who died, then married Barbra, probably between 1898 and 1900. Josef GUTEKUNST had 5 children born in Hungary, probably in Kowatschi/Covaci: Josef (abt 1896), Maria (abt 1898), Barbara (abt 1900), Nicolaus (abt 1902), Peter (abt 1905); I believe the first two were born to his first wife (name unknown) and the rest with Barbra (PAULUS) GUTEKUNST. Josef emmigrated to Chicago in 1905, via the port of Fiume, Italy (now Rijeka, Croatia), aboard the Pannonia. His wife Barbra emmigrated to Chicago with the 5 children, in 1907, aboard the Rjindam. The family quickly moved to the Michigan U.P. On Barbra's manifest, in addition to mentioning Kowatschi, a contact name in Hungary appears to be something like "Ujlyssemo C. GORONDAL" listed as a grandfather. I have no information about them prior to the manifests and US Census data and am looking for any evidence of their lives in Kowatschi/Covaci. Any help or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
