Just wanted to add to this in regard to all the personal responses. Yes, you all passed the test! Cheers! -- DVHH mail list co-administrator Eve Brown

Dear list members, Sorry to all those that have not heard about the problem at Rootsweb. This is part of the message I received from them: Our engineers are working to correct problems that occurred as a result to an attack on Ancestry.com and our other related sites This started around June 14th, not positive of the exact time, but I was helpless at my end to get the information out as messages were all getting kicked out and I couldn't even access the main mailbox until recently. Please everyone post your questions and research interests as we seem to be okay - hopefully the problem is fixed long term. -- DVHH mail list co-administrator Eve Brown

Oh thank goodness, I think we finally are.

I think part of the problem was the DDoS attack against ancestry dot com which also took out rootsweb (the host of this and many other mail lists) and Find A Grave.

In the Kowatschi Familienbuch by Jakob Arenz 2011 I found: #538 Gutekunst Josef b. 10.12.1870 Hodon.

Pinter To: famline@embarqmail.com Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 3:02 PM Subject: RE: Researching Germans from Kowatschi Linda, thank you very much for the detailed and lengthy response. As soon as I get a chance, I will post to those lists as you've advised. To be clear, my ancestors were not Pinters in this case but Gutekunsts. Sounds like I'll be searching variations such as Gudekunst, Gutekunz, etc. Anyway, I have detailed information about the years of their births (or approximations +/-1) and emmigration dates. US Census records state that the parents (Josef Gutekunst and Barbra Paulus) born about 1870, were born in Hungary. They emmigrated from Kovatschi but I have no idea if they themselves were born there or someplace else in Hungary. Their parents were listed as having been born in Hungary as well, so it could be several generations of Banaters born there. I knew my great grandmother (born in 1899, daughter of the two listed above) quite well; she died in 1990. Josef emmigrated to Chicago in 1905 (have the manifest), then Barbra and the kids (there were several) emmigrated in 1907. The entire family then went to the town of Banat in Michigan's upper penninsula. My great grandmother used to say the town was named after their homeland overseas and this was my biggest clue when tracking down Kovatschi and finally learning of the Banat region. It also explained why she spoke such "odd" German compared to what I was learning in high school, and why on Earth they were born in Hungary but referred to themselves as German, etc. Anyway, that's the abbreviated version of the story.

Hello, I'm trying my first post on my other email account, Hotmail was not friendly to me. After finidng the list of Famielenbuchs last week, there was a Cd available for my Grandmother's village of Klek. I contacted a Hans Rep and he was nice enough to send me my specific information on my "Adam Schmidt" family. He gave me the English translation of all the German abbreviations too. I finally have the names of all of my Grandmother's family all the way to GG Grandparents. This is the first time anyone in my generation has had this information. There was some information missing and he thought it might be in Church records he did not have and possibly another village. I am very pleased! I used the Google translator, his email was in German. Not the best but I got the general subject of his email. I have a few questions I will ask later. I forgot who posted the information on the books........Thank-You! Jean

Hi all.... My brother and I both very recently contacted immigration... Within the last year. Mom would have been naturalized in the 70's and is still alive. We were both told bt different officials, and I found it online, that it would take a Freedom of Information Act FOIA request. They charge $300.00 or $600.00 (not sure which since I proceeded differently). This is to get a duplicate naturalization certificate. Wow!!! Talk about inflation!!!
