Dear Alicia, If I were a betting person I would say yes, you most likely are Donauschwaben. I am currently looking into the Varga line for you and I am hoping someone can take the time - I know we have those holidays approaching far too quickly, but perhaps a quick reply from someone with info on Pecs or the general area of Pecs would be nice.

Hello. I was pointed to your website because Im doing genealogy on my great grandfather, Rudolph Hausner. He is German and his family spoke German. In 1884 he was born and baptized in Szabolcs, Pecs, Hungary.His father is Andrew Hausner and mother is Julianna Varga. They came to America in the same year 1884 and settled in Luzerne County in Pennsylvania. They are coal miners. Ive never heard of your association but thought I would tell you about my great grandfather to see if there is some sort of link. Ive been told my family is German, Austrian, Hungarian...its all very confusing. Thank in advance for any input. I have many American records but the only foreign record I have is Rudolphs baptismal certificate. I was always told “we are Austrian”. Their censuses say they spoke German and one relative had a passport to go for a visit to his hometown of Funfkirchen. I was told Pecs and Funfkirchen are the same place and the fact they called their hometown Funfkirchen instead of Pecs is an indicator that they are indeed German not Hungarian. Rudolphs wife, my great grandmother, is Christine Prusch. I don’t know anything nor have I found anything about where the Pruschs are from beside the usual “Austria". On some of their censuses they claim they spoke German but also Slovakian/Slovenian. And if you asked Christine what she was she would say “slovak”although they seem to clearly be on American records, of German descent. Rudoplph Hosner/Hausner parents are Andrew Hosner/Hausner. His mother is Julianna Varga on his baptismal certificate but in America she called herself Elizabeth. Christine Prusch’s parents are Anton Prusch and Anna ( some records say Stevey, some say Stevens) Any help you could offer I would appreciate. If my family is Donauschwaben, I really would like to know. Alicia Burns New Jersey

Hi Anne & Eric, Below is an excerpt from Carl Bischof's book "Die Geschichte der Marktgemeinde Ruma". It states that the earliest settlers of Ruma who migrated about 1746-1748 were from Franconia, particularly the area near Bamberg. This conclusion was apparently based on dialect and the style of Tracht (dress) worn by Rumaer. I can certainly attest to my mother's and grandmother's southerly dialect (not Schwaebisch, not Schwowisch - more Bayrisch). My own NAGEL & NOLL lines I've traced back to the Black Forest region of Schwaben - they settled in Ruma in the late 1700's; I'm not sure which family names actually stem from the Bamberg area and have not seen any direct linkages to that region from Ruma personally. My conversations with other researchers indicate that the later-settling families came from many German areas, not only the Black Forest, but also from Austria, Luxembourg, Hessen... Eric - I don't have the names you are looking for in my database, but I know that the PENDL and especially WOLF families were large - as was Anne's DREHER family. There is no tree for either family in the second volume of "Rumaer Dokumentation", but it's possible that such a tree was created for these families. The difficult part is that the females were often excluded on the trees, so you would need to get back to a male relative - this is a big wall for me personally. For those families that appear not to have a tree, research is very slow-going, as there are no filmed records; records are apparently available only at the archives in Mitrovica. This is also the case with several of my Ruma families. If there is any interest in getting a researcher, I'd consider partnering to cover costs. >From "Die Geschichte der Marktgemeinde Ruma": "Die erste Gruppe Rumaer, die in den Jahren 1746-1748 in mehreren Gruppen zur Probesiedlung berufen wurden, stammten größtenteils aus den nordbayerischen Regierungsbezirken Oberpfalz, Ober- und Unterfranken. Nach der Volkstracht des 18.Jahrhunderts dürften die meisten aus dem Bereich des Bamberger Bistums stammen, da die alte Rumaer Tracht jener sehr ähnlich ist. Auch alle sonstigen Nachforschungen deuten auf diese Gebiete hin."

There was a Werle family that adopted my great grandfather and siblings around 1890 in Bresondorf/Barsónyfalva/Breson, Banat/Romania (though the family referred to the region as Temeswar), and moved there from Kernei/Kerény/Kljajićevo, Batschka/Vojvodina.

I also happen to know there are Wehrle descendants living in the Winnipeg, Manitoba area. Their ancestors from the Black Forest in Germany were part of a group of immigrants who settled in the small community of Little Britain around 1929. If you search http://www.canada411.ca/ you'll find a number of Wehrle listings--I'm pretty sure they're all related. You might want to give some of them a call.
