I guess I am not 100% surprised to hear about German sites shutting down. In 2017, my wife Joy and I stopped in Haus der Donauschwabens in Haar (suburb of Munchen, on the train line S). It was quite interesting, a small place, with a focus on Cserwinka (Batchka), where I actually have possibly some history. Everyone there was 60+, maybe 65. No one spoke English, and my German could get me by a little, but it's only so good. If anyone is going to Munchen, it's worth a stop. I too enjoy dvhh and have gained a lot from it. I am writing a family book of my own about my Mom's family who all came in the 1920s from Hungary, Romania, Serbia. Paul A.

Hello Mr. Karl Huber, I have copied the pages of Schubkegels in the Evangelische Familienbuch of Semlak. There no Schubkegels in the Reformierte Familienbuch. Please send me your e-mail address to you so that I can send what I have. I do not think there is much hope for you in finding Schubkegels in your family. Also, keep in mind that these are Lutherans and will not be helpful if you are seeking Catholics. When I receive your e-mail address, I will send copies of the pages that have Schubkegels.

I`m Karl Huber from Austria. I started to make my familytree new. For the records in Austria i do well. But I dont have skills for doing out of Austria. I would be gald to be suported by you. I`m looking for the Family of my grandmother Born as Maria Schubkegel in Bela Crkva now Serbia Banat. Her parents Peter Schubkegel & Katharina Maschek. Peter Schubkegel was Born in Kisszemlak/ Semlacu Mic now Romania Banat. I have foun a record of Andreas Schubkegel died as soldier 14.11.1858 in Arad age 21. His place of birth was Zemlak. The Dates of Andreas Schubkegel out of "Dates of Banat Family History Series Volume VI" by David Dreyer 808 N Claremont San Mateo , California 94401. I want to ask you, if you can give me suport in that case of Schubkegel. I think there could be also a connection between Peter and Andreas, because one son of Peter was named Andreas also in 1912.

Hi Nick, Very interesting information.  Yes, I also have some of these names (as well as Tullius) and am currently working with Ian Schoenherr (my 6th cousin) on Nikolaus Allar and Anne Dommenge also from Luxembourg, Belgium.  There were many residents of the Province who left for the Banat.  I know work is being done on the Lorraine, but is anyone studying migration from Beligium?

Greetings Everyone!I browsed the DVHH guest book today, it's been a while. I continue to be amazed how the DVHH has reached and touched so many folks.  And the mail list is still flourishing. Our Facebook has a life of it's own. I have to admit I don't know everyone personally.  There was a time when I(we) knew everyone, lol - many years ago. Check out the guest book: http://www.dvhh.org/community/guestbook/index.htmlAs I've been updating dvhh.org and trying to correct broken links, it's hard not to be sad as to all the German sites and other notable useful sites that have been shut down. Nick Tullius and I have discussed this privately but I wanted to bring it to the attention of all. There was a time (early 2000s) when only they existed. Which became a primary reason the DVHH.org was created Jan 15, 2003. For whatever reasons these sites are no longer available: webmasters pass away, too expensive or time consuming to continue; .... I want to thank all the DVHH volunteers and administrators who are still going strong and keep DVHH running since 2003.In 2007 it was recommended we become a nonprofit, which we did. This opened up our membership. These paying members keep the DVHH financially stable to ensure we remain online. Note: no one gets paid!  I retired from the board of Directors last year, leaving those affairs to a well qualified group. I don't even know or ask what our budget is. The DVHH has never participated in a "membership drive" and I hope this message isn't misconstrued as one, because we've never pleaded for money. But I want to just say this, my hope is that in 15 years down the line that - dvhh.org can still be accessed online, still going strong! If you have benefited from the DVHH you can always show your appreciation in financial support which will extend its life online.http://www.dvhh.org/membership/ Thank you all and have a blessed day.Carry on my fellow researchers!Jody McKim Pharr

This is in Serbia? In 2014, I worked with a guy from the TI in Beograd, who is Serbian, and of course knows languages, etc. He took us to Feketitsch, Savino Selo (Batschka) and was very helpful. He interpreted for us when in the villages, as no one there spoke English or German. djzivanovic@tob.co.rs Tell him that he drove us to Feketitsch in Oct 2014, and also to Sarajevo. His rates were fair then. Can't say about today. Paul A.

Are you related to Matt Liebgott in the Chicago area. My father was born in Banat Brestowatz. He would have been 86 this year in October. My father was in the concentration camps that Partisans created in Banat Brestowatz and was then shipped to other camps with his final destination in Gakaw (Speilling), one of the death camps which he was able to escape from with his mother and sister. In regards to Judism, my father told me he remembered his grandparents used to spell their last name Schwarz as Schwartz before the war. For some reason it was changed. The family has always been raised Catholic. > On Feb 19, 2019, at 3:08 PM, Bernie Liebgott <b.liebgott@sympatico.ca> wrote: > > > > Joe Liebgott’s war records show that he was listed as being Jewish by the National Jewish Welfare Board in 1945.

I’m inquiring to see if you would have any information or contacts for us on Medja. My mother was born in Medja (Pardan) prior to the end of WWII and she have limited memory of her family village a homes. We are planning a visit in June and have been trying to get in touch with City Hall to arrange a tour visit. We would like to see records (if available) of her ancestors and their original homes and a tour of these houses and the village. Also her grandparents on her father’s side were in Setchan We could also add in a few other locations of significance of remembrance of the Danube Swabian. We already have a customized tour of my father's village in Stanisic and would like the same for my mother. Let me know if this is something you can help us out with.

Joe Liebgott's war records show that he was listed as being Jewish by the National Jewish Welfare Board in 1945. Likely, however, he was Catholic based on genealogical records from Banat Brestowatz in the former Yugoslavia. Whatever his religion, this document predates the writing of the script for Band of Brothers. His comrades in arms and the Bureau of Records assumed he was Jewish even though he was likely not. Why he did this or never denied these assumptions will likely never be known other than he was thoroughly determined to distance himself from Nazism . My father, Thomas Liebgott, was from the same town as Joe's family. He was raised Catholic and emigrated to Canada before WW2.

I`m Karl Huber from Austria. I started to make my familytree new. For the records in Austria i do well. But I dont have skills for doing out of Austria. I would be gald to be suported by you. I`m looking for the Family of my grandmother Born as Maria Schubkegel in Bela Crkva now Serbia Banat. Her parents Peter Schubkegel & Katharina Maschek. Peter Schubkegel was Born in Kisszemlak/ Semlacu Mic now Romania Banat. I have foun a record of Andreas Schubkegel died as soldier 14.11.1858 in Arad age 21. His place of birth was Zemlak. The Dates of Andreas Schubkegel out of "Dates of Banat Family History Series Volume VI" by David Dreyer 808 N Claremont San Mateo , California 94401. I want to ask you, if you can give me suport in that case of Schubkegel. I think there could be also a connection between Peter and Andreas, because one son of Peter was named Andreas also in 1912.
