Hi all, I'm looking for the origins of my ancestor called Ferdinand Ritter. Much information has been revealed thankfully to this channel! The earliest information that I know is that he had a son who was born in Lowrin in 1791. He was a miller and lived in the mills of many towns in the Banat with his family. His first wife was called Katharina. She died in Gottlob in 1796, and it's written is her death record that she came from Elsass (Alsace). This means that there is a high chance that Ferdinand Ritter also came from Elsass. Ferdinand's death record says that he was from the Holy Roman Empire. Because Lowrin is the first known place, there might be more Ritters in Lowrin who came from Elsass. Leah (Button Button) helped me a lot, by scanning the relevant pages of the book Heimatbuch der Heidegemeinde Lovrin im Banat. On the 91st page of this book, there are 2 Ritters called Andreas and Johann. I know about them, but I would like to know if there are any more books or information that can be gathered about the town Lowrin and the Ritters. Thank you very much for your kind help, Akos A.
