Thanks so much for your offer to call the archive, Stasa. I can confirm that I’m looking for Josef Jerhoff, born circa 1879 to Lorenz Jerhoff and Elisabeth Samson (Angela Brenesel is actually Josef’s wife from Ernsthausen). Some details on Josef’s parents, in case it helps: I have no record of Elisabeth and Lorenz’s marriage. They had a total of five additional children born in Ernsthausen between 1881 and 1889. I don’t know if Josef was the only child not born in Ernsthausen, but he is the oldest as far as I know. For Elisabeth Samson, I know she was born in Tschestereg in 1854, and that she later remarried in 1906 in Ernsthausen, to Paul Merle. For Lorenz Jerhoff, I have only his name from both the record of Josef’s marriage to Angela Brenesel in Ernsthausen, and the US marriage record for one of Josef’s sisters. I’ve looked through the Ernsthausen death records from 1895-1916 and can’t find him, so I’m thinking he may have died between 1889 and 1895.

I’d been feeling very frustrated — I found all those other Jerhoffs, too, Dave, but can't be certain of connections without being able to pin down Josef (and his father Lorenz). Now I feel like I have some direction again.

According to late Ft. Eros Lajos' book about the history of RC Parishes within today Nagybecskerek Bishopric (the book was published in 1993), Roman Catholics born in Botoš were baptized in Perlez (Perlas, Perlasz) until the establishment of Ernstahusen parish, which then parochially covered RC in Botoš. But since you have checked Ernsthausen records and he was not baptized there, maybe it is worthwhile to check Etschka and few other nearby places (Dave made a good suggestion, I would just add Perlas, too) Best of luck! >> Staša Cvetković, Synergia >> >> On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 3:54 AM, <ddreyer@pacbell.net> wrote: >> Linda, >> If I have it right Botosch(Botos) is located on the Temesch a bit south of Ernsthausen. >> In addition to Setschan and Ernsthausen, Sartscha, D Etschka, and Sigmundfeld are other German villages in the neighborhood. However, so far as I am aware, Botosch KB records are not included in any of these places. This leads to the view, in my mind, that Botosch must be a stand alone parish and that one would have to search for the KBs probably in the NeuSatz archives. >> Dave Dreyer >> >> >> >> From: Linda Sohl >> Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2017 4:32 AM >> To: ddreyer@pacbell.net >> Cc: Banat-L@rootsweb.com >> Subject: Re: [BANAT-L] Botosch records? >> >> Hi Dave, >> >> There isn’t a family book for Botosch, so I was wondering about the church records themselves - whether Botosch kept its own over some period of time, or whether all births were recorded in a parish elsewhere. A good suggestion I got from Rudolf Hüpfl to try the Setschan records unfortunately yields no information - Josef Jerhoff isn’t in the birth index for any time around 1879, the year he was born. >> >> Cheers, >> Linda >> >> >> >> On Mar 20, 2017, at 6:10 PM, ddreyer@pacbell.net wrote: >> >> >> Linda, >> A list of Banat family books can be found at Banatbooks.com >> Dave Dreyer >> >> >> From: Linda Sohl >> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2017 10:04 AM >> To: Mailingliste Banat-L >> Subject: [BANAT-L] Botosch records? >> >> Hi everyone, >> >> I’m having trouble tracking down the birth record of my great-grandfather, Josef Jerhoff, and I’m hoping someone can suggest a next step. >> >> All of Josef's siblings (that I know of) were born in Ernsthausen from 1881 onward, and Josef himself was married there in 1908, but his marriage record says he was from Botosch (born 1879).
