Hi Patti, My great-aunt, Anna Zoellner, married Ferencz Rung in Glogowatz (25 mi. from Arad), and had three children there: Borbala, Anna, Wendel. Church: St. Johann von Nepomuk. They settled in College Point (in Queens), New York. Ferencz arrived 12/12/1905; Anna and the three children joined him 8/29/1906. All came through Ellis Island. When we visited Vladimirescu (Glogowatz) in Romania a few years ago, I took note of the mayoral plaque in the city hall, as Mihail Rung served from 1941-42. Is that a relation of yours? All official civil records are archived in Arad; any village records are available to view at the city hall, but I was not permitted to photocopy nor take any photos of anything. Hope that helps, Kathy (Zollner) Meany -----Original Message----- From: Patti Weatherred <pweatherred@gmail.com> To: Donauschwaben-Villages <DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wed, May 21, 2014 1:38 pm Subject: [DVHH] Rung lookup The information I have on my g-grandfather, Joseph Rung, is that he was born in Sanktanna, Arad on 19 March 1865. I believe he died in 1942. The family may have moved to Tipar (Zipar) before 1894 as that is where my grandmother was born. My aunt, who is 90, said that her grandfather was the mayor of the town. I think she was talking about this man. My dad also mentioned that he was the wealthiest man in town and had two sets of horses - one for plowing and one for pulling the family carriage. Does anyone have any records regarding officials in towns such as mayors? -- *Patti A.
