> > I have 2 postcards sent to my mom and dad from the Banat and it shows the pigs and cows. One picture the pigs are light colored and the other one the pigs are dark colored, the cows are spotted lol Angela Helfrich Daugherty
Most of the pigs in Croatia were black or spotted black. They tried to introduce the white breeds, but found they could not tolerate the hot summers like the black ones. This is what I heard when we were farming (here in Canada. One of my uncles visiting uncles mentioned that 'back home' the black ones were more suited for our climate.

Sorry, this email is very rambling - talking about the pigs reminded me of some of my mom's stories involving animals. My mom talked about having 2 cows, Blimi and Ruminka. One of these was always mentioned as "the Bosnian cow". I used to ask my mom just what was a Bosnian cow and her answer always was "Well, it came from Bosnia!" I'm assuming it was a specific breed that came from Bosnia. One of the cows would only let my grandma milk her. It kicked everybody else. My mom also talked about how horses were very clean animals. The manure could be used on wounds to draw out impurities. She used to ride the horses bareback. They were working farm horses, so they weren't actually ridden very often. They also had chickens, geese, ducks, horses, donkeys, pigs (who had their own kitchen at the back of the house). My mom once saved all their baby fowl (chicks, baby ducks, baby geese) from a bad storm. She was left in charge as a younger child when her parents went off visiting. She put all the animals away safely in their homes because she saw a storm was coming. The older guys across the street out sitting on the porch, were laughing their heads off at her, look at the silly little girl putting away all the animals. Then the storm came, and many families lost their baby animals which were left outside, including those guys across the street. The town also had 2 bulls who lived in a building near the centre of town. The cows were brought to them and the bulls did their work there! During WW II, the Partisans came to my grandpa's house and took him away to the middle of town to get the bulls. He had to lead them out of town. It was a typical family evening, with my 7-year old aunt, crying very loudly about not wanting to do her homework, and some family busy making dinner. Then came the knock on the door and there were Partisans. The family were begging the Partisans to let their husband and father come back home after. My mom's family didn't know if they were going to let my grandpa go or kill him. They went past the family home (which was near the end of the town) and then let him go a few houses further down the road. ------- Darlene http://www.dvhh.org/membership/associates.htm#D On 27-Feb-2019 4:54 PM, Nick Tullius wrote: > At one point in time my father kept white (somewhat pink) pigs, while my grandfather kept dark pigs resembling wild boars.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica about the wooly pig The *Mangalica* (also *Mangalitsa* or *Mangalitza*) is a Hungarian <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary> breed <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pig_breeds> of domestic pig <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_pig>. It was developed in the mid-19th century by crossbreeding Hungarian breeds from Szalonta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szalonta> and Bakony <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakony> with the European wild boar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_boar> and the Serbian Šumadija <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0umadija> breed.[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-:0-3> The Mangalica pig grows a thick, woolly <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wool> coat similar to that of a sheep <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep>. The only other pig breed noted for having a long coat is the extinct <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinct> Lincolnshire Curly-coated pig <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincolnshire_Curly-coated_pig> of England. The blonde Mangalica variety was developed from older, hardy types of Hungarian pig (Bakonyi and Szalontai) crossed with the European wild boar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_boar> and a Serbian breed (and later others like Alföldi[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-Mangalitza-4>) in Austro-Hungary <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungary> (1833).[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-The_Hungarian_Mangalica-1> That year, Prince of Serbia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Serbia> Miloš Obrenović <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo%C5%A1_Obrenovi%C4%87> sent 12 pigs of the autochthonous Serbian *Šumadinka* breed, ten of the pigs were sows while two were boars, to the Archduke Joseph <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archduke_Joseph,_Palatine_of_Hungary>, Palatine of Hungary <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatine_of_Hungary> for the new breed to be created. Pigs originally grown at the Prince's Topčider <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top%C4%8Dider> farm near Belgrade <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgrade> were used to create the Syrmian black lasa breed, also known as the black mangalica.[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-pol-5> The development took place in Austro-Hungary (present-day Arad County <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arad_County> in Romania) in the early 19th century.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-The_Hungarian_Mangalica-1> The new, quick-growing, "fat-type" hog did not require any special care, which caused it to become very popular in Hungary. In 1927, the National Society of Fat-Type Hog Breeders (*Mangalicatenyésztők Országos Egyesülete*) was established, with the objective of improving the breed.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-The_Hungarian_Mangalica-1> Mangalica was the most prominent swine breed in the region until 1950 (30,000 of them were in Hungary in 1943).[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalica#cite_note-The_Hungarian_Mangalica-1> On Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 4:55 PM Nick Tullius <tvllivsn@bell.net> wrote: > At one point in time my father kept white (somewhat pink) pigs, while my > grandfather kept dark pigs resembling wild boars.

Or wait a min - that's Karađorđe - the "đ" is pronounced similar to "j" in "jonnie", but you put a little d-sound in front. Pig raising was a big industry in Serbia/Vojvodinja. There was the famous "pig war" in 1906-1908 about the trade. The Serbs needed a ruler, and they found one in the shape of a huge pig farmer by the name of Djordje Petrović. Known as Karadjordje <http://www.serbia.com/napoleons-praise-for-karadjordje/> (Black George), Petrović was every bit as ruthless as the Janissaries that he helped overthrow. He was an illiterate man of peasant stock with a famously wild temper, a set of characteristics that worked well with his hands-on style of leadership. He led from the front, to say the least. Karadjorde led the First Serbian Uprising <http://www.balkanhistory.com/serbian_uprising.htm>, an attempted revolution that lasted from 1804 all the way through to 1813. It seemed as though it was going to be successful, until the Russians abandoned the Serbs at the Treaty of Bucharest in 1812.

Forwarding message from Bernie Liebgott: From: Bernie Liebgott <b.liebgott@sympatico.ca> To: <donauschwaben-villages@rootsweb.com> Cc: Bcc: Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 17:40:56 -0500 Subject: Re: [DVHH] Re: Response to all Roll Call messages. Hello Helen Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I don’t know if he was related to Matt. I never heard that name come up in his conversations with his friends from Brestowatz living in Toronto. His mother, my grandmother Anna, was in double jeopardy. During the occupation, she was detained for not towing the Nazi line; after liberation, she went to the same concentration camp as your father because she was ethnic German. My father brought her to Toronto after her release but to my knowledge, she never mentioned a Matt Liebgott. I’m still researching Liebgott connections and should I find any links to Matt Liebgott, I’ll get in touch with you. All the best, Bernie Liebgott -- ------- Darlene http://www.dvhh.org/membership/associates.htm#D

This is a test. Two messages that I sent came back as "undeliverable". Now it appears that I do not get ANY messages. Is there a problem? Nick Tullius
Hello Lori, hello All, Regarding Lori’s question "What kind of music would have been popular in the villages?”, I obtained 2 Blassmusik (brass band) recordings from 1910 from someone I met during at the 1st Welttreffen der Donauschwaben in Hungary in 2007 and that came with an interesting story. The story as it was told to me (which I can’t corroborate), was that a recording crew from the US was in Austria-Hungary around 1910 to record the traditional music of the Donauschwaben villages and so to bring the Donauschwaben musical heritage back to the US. Lori, if you’re interested, I can try to send them to you i.e. if I can figure out how to get them off my iTunes! :-) If anyone else on DVHH is interested in getting these two musical treasures from our Donauschwaben heritage, send me an email and I’ll send them to you as well….

But before that, when families still had a lime-painted brick oven and some sort of stove on top of it, did they get water just from the well as they needed it? Or would they have brought a good amount in in the morning so it could warm up inside the house throughout the day? > Did they preserve peppers? I’m just trying to figure how if goulash was possible in the winter. It feels like a dumb question, but peppers didn’t come from Africa in those days. > What kind of music would have been popular in the villages? What’s played now during our local German hour is for the generation born after 1920, so I don’t know what the village bands would’ve played IN 1920. > > > And does anyone know when electricity, indoor plumbing, floor boards, and telephones finally moved into the Romanian villages? > > > > Regards, > > > > Lori Straus > > Author of Between Worlds: A new YA series about the DS and their descendants (published under Lori Wolf-Heffner) > > Gara: Heffner, Wagner, Brandt > > Ridjica/Stanisitsch: Wagner, Zimmermann, Fleckstein > > Semlak: Wolf, Bartolf > > Schöndorf: Bortscher, Klein > > www.loriwolfheffner.com > > Speak fluent German > > > > Professional Writers’ Association of Canada, professional member > > Literary Translators’ Association of Canada, associate member > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref > Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/donauschwaben-villages@rootsweb.com > Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 > Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog > RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
