Jean, I'm sure others will answer this better than I, but I'll give it a go. Here is a description of the Kleinjetcha Family Book, Kleinjetscha being a village in today's Romanian Banat. Giel, Dietmar (2001). Familienbuch der katholischen Pfarrgemeinde Kleinjetscha im Banat: 1772-2000. Friedrichsdorf: Zentralstelle für Personen- und Familiengeschichte. 762 pages written in German. Includes details on the families living in Kleinjetscha from approximately 1772-2000 and limited information on the families living in the neighboring village Gertianosch from 1783-1785. Included for each family are birth, death, & marriage dates and locations; children; godparents & witnesses; and the relationships between families. Sometimes included are occupations and migration notes. Though in German, because of the way the book is organized, it is relatively easy for non-German speakers to glean information about their families. Many of the villages where our ancestors lived have family books. While a few of the books have been put on line or on CD, many are hard copy only (and many of those are out-of-print).

I've been trying to determine if Buzias/Timisoara was an area that endured the ethnic cleansing after the war. If I finished Bread on My Mother'sTable and will read Pebble in My Shoe and People of the Book. So far it seems that some areas of Eastern Europe were targeted more. Does anyone have any idea where I could gain such information about Buzias/Timisoara area? Thanks Sandra Sent from my iPad

I miss these foods, that look awful; but taste "Oh so good". But, thanks to our ancestors who braved the Atlantic Ocean and brought with them the recipes we can 200 years later enjoy. The internet was the "Vehicle" used by scattered peoples across the globe. Here in the USA, we on this list were invited to join DVHH to share stories of our Grandparents childhoods; and their travels. AND.....the histories of their forefathers. Thank you Jody and all the volunteers who keep us "Family". Barb

Kathy, Do you know marriage dates for her children? When were her children born? When did the husband die, before or after her? Do you know from any source at least the approximate year of her death? School records are available that can tell you where Anton Pfeiffer worked as a teacher at the time when Rosalia was born - some are online, but most are only available in state archive in Sombor, Serbia. - The ones that are online: you can find on the website of the Kalocsa diocese e-archive - even if you are not their subscriber you can use free search option in the top right corner of their web page "Keresés": http://archivum.asztrik.hu/ . use the surname of the person you are looking for and try any and all alternate spellings. This search is great if your ancestors were teachers,civil servants, Roman Catholic Church priests, town or village representatives. - There is information available that Antál Pfeiffer ( Anton) was schoolteacher in Karavukovo village from 1858 to 1891. : http://archivum.asztrik.hu/?q=oldal/bacsordas-karavukova-1856-1919 You can look if he appears in any other school records on this page: http://archivum.asztrik.hu/?q=category/helysegek/nepiskolak Népiskolák = public/state schools,click on "Tovább" button under the place-name to see the whole entry, and do not change the language of the web page to English because the search option glitches and does not show all results when you do that. :) Jugoslava Ilankovic "Rodoslovlje" Serbian Genealogy Society www.rodoslovlje.com Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 15:57:31 -0600 Subject: [DVHH] in need of help Hello Listers, I have not been able to find my great grandmother’s birth date and place as well as her death date and place. Her name was Rosalia Pfeiffer Eisele. Her father was Anton Pfeiffer B. 18 Nov 1815 in Kernei to Georg Pol Pfeiffer and Susanna Belowski M. 29 Sep 1843 in Karavukovo to Helena Bauer D. 21 Apr 1895 in Karavukovo Her mother was Helena Bauer B. 17 Aug 1822 in Karavukovo to Janos Bauer and AnaMarie Eckert M. 29 Sep 1843 to Anton Pfeiffer in Karavukovo D. 19 Jul 1902 in Karavukovo Rosalia was born about 1847 but I it does not appear to have been in Karavukovo. Her father was a teacher and I am told that teachers were sent to wherever there was a need. Rosalia married Ignatz Eisele on 19 July 1870 in Karavukovo. I have located the Catholic baptismal records for all nine of their children (all born in Karavukovo). I cannot find a death date for her although it was probably in Karavukovo. I have been very fortunate to find all of the other information on this family but these two missing pieces are like not having a front tooth. Thanks in advance, Kathy Kennedy

This is the 1st time I have responded to any of the e-mails that I have received. I really appreciate being a member of this group. I am still looking for members of my Paternal side of my family. My Great-grandfather Johann Seiler was born on 24 June 1863 in Blumenthal, Banat & my Great-grandmother Elizabeth Scheffler Seiler was born 25 august 1863 In Blumenthal, Banat. My other Great-grand-father Joseph Anton was born 26 January 1875 in Heilfelt, Bukovina and my Great-grand-mother Regina Schaffer Anton was born 20 July 1880 in Bukovina. My great-grandfather's father was also Johann Seiler he was born in 1843 in Blumenthal & my great-grandmother Anna Friedman Krawad Seiler was born in 1845 in Blumenthal. All of my grandparents immigrated to the United States and settled in North Dakota. They settled down in North Dakota and raised their families there, they all died in North Dakota. I am on Roots Web as well as Ancestry.com, I'm just having a hard time finding the parents of these great-grandparents. Any help of information on where I should look next will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help.

Susana Schmidt (maiden name) . She was born in Klek in 1898. Which I believe is in the Banat region? Susana Schmidt emigrated to the US in 1914 at age 16. Her parents were Adam Schmidt and Barbara Schmidt (also her maiden name). They had six daughters. Four of them emigrated to the US and two to Canada. The youngest returned but I'm not sure when or where. I know My Great Grandfather Adam Schmidt died during WW2 in Klek. I don't know when Barbara died. I know they were Catholic. What I want to find out, if possible where in Germany they came from and if possible find another generation in her village. It took me two years to find my Grandmother's passenger list. They had misspelled her last name. I found the German version and it was correct. I have all of her US documents. I'm not sure if any records are still available and the name Schmidt is not the easiest to research. I also have her sisters married names. My Grandmother lived in Chicago until her divorce in the early 1930's. She then moved to Michigan with my mother and remarried. Her other sisters settled in Chicago, Michigan and Canada. I was so happy to find this group. I had a Donauschwaben intervention on a German genealogy facebook site one night. . I never knew the history of my Grandmother and Grandfather's origins. How they were German but didn't live there was very confusing. Just knew they were from Austria-Hungary or the "Old Country". I'm on the DVHH FB and have received quite the history lesson. My Grandfather's will be a tough one. I'll post that info later.

Her name was Rosalia Pfeiffer Eisele. Her father was Anton Pfeiffer B. 18 Nov 1815 in Kernei to Georg Pol Pfeiffer and Susanna Belowski M. 29 Sep 1843 in Karavukovo to Helena Bauer D. 21 Apr 1895 in Karavukovo Her mother was Helena Bauer B. 17 Aug 1822 in Karavukovo to Janos Bauer and AnaMarie Eckert M. 29 Sep 1843 to Anton Pfeiffer in Karavukovo D. 19 Jul 1902 in Karavukovo Rosalia was born about 1847 but I it does not appear to have been in Karavukovo. Her father was a teacher and I am told that teachers were sent to wherever there was a need. Rosalia married Ignatz Eisele on 19 July 1870 in Karavukovo. I have located the Catholic baptismal records for all nine of their children (all born in Karavukovo). I cannot find a death date for her although it was probably in Karavukovo. I have been very fortunate to find all of the other information on this family but these two missing pieces are like not having a front tooth.

I hope this email is clear enough - trying to get my thoughts in some sense of order! 1: Heinrich Muller – born in 12 Apr 1854 – perhaps in Grossremete, Koningshof or Blumenthal. He was living in Konigshof as of 1907. We think he died in 1931, but where, we do not know. 2: Anna Feil/Pfeil. Wife of Heinrich Muller. Born Dec 1846 in ? and died in 1901, presumed Konigshof. 3. Griisser/Grusser/Grieser/Griesz, surname etc. spelling variants. (Spelled Grieser on manifests, crossed out and spelled Griisser or Grusser w/ umlau. Spelled Griisser in the States.) Michael (b. 24 July 1873) and Anna Muller Grieser (b. 24 Jan 1879_. They were married 28 Feb 1897 and definitely lived in Blumenthal and in Koningshof. Michael possibly lived in Deutschbentschek or Grossremete, as well, and his parents were George Michael or Michael George Grieser and Margaret (?). (All the family knows is that he said they moved a lot because of endless wars.) 4. Anna Muller Grieser’s sister, Marian Muller (b. 1885, d. 1969 Blumenthal) married Johann Papp and had 6 children: Lesti Papp (b. 1908, married Josef Kohl), Mari Papp (b. 1909 married Ignatz Muller), Johan Papp (b. 1911 married Anna Schuch), Filip Papp (b. 1912, married Margaret Schraudt and had a son Walter Papp), Lisi Papp (b. 1917 married Lorenz Markert), and Paul Papp (b. 1919 – d. 1944 in WWII.) All lived in Blumenthal as far we know. Perhaps descendants of these Papps have information on their maternal line of Marian Muller which ties into my direct line. Any information would be greatly appreciated – including hints on where to look for information/records. I am particularly interested in finding out if the surname Grieser (and any variants) can be found in the various family books around. That might help me zero in on where the family originally came from, knowing that they were constantly moving. Regards, Irene Haas

My father is Romanian from Vladimirovac/Petersdorf/Petrovasala (Alibunar Community), today in the Serbian Banat. His town was majority Serb and minority Romanian and German, back in the days he lived there (1911-1925). This town was in the military frontier. I attended a picnic held annually by people from his hometown and was quite surprised by the breakfast food. There was bread, feta cheese, giant tomatoes, giant green onions, some kind of barbequed pork that looked awful and fatty but tasted great - the meal was really good but I'd never seen anything quite like this for breakfast. Was curious if this was a typical Banat breakfast for all ethnic groups? Oops, forgot about the mamaliga, some kind of mushy cornmeal dish. For dinner, the main food was roasted pig. -- Darlene http://www.dvhh.org/membership/associates.htm#D http://home.cogeco.ca/~lindarlene/Index.html
