I checked the list of villages and my Grandmother's village is listed "Klek" and it's on CD. It is available on CD. Can anyone help me out on what Familienzusammenstellung means? I might be getting somewhere in my search.

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). Here is a link to a list that includes just the Banat family books: http://www.banatbooks.com/FamilienbuchList.htm Jane Moore http://www.dvhh.org/kleinjetscha/index.htm
