Diane,Is it her claim that immigrants to the Banat all traveled through Alsace-lorraine? I have read over the years that there were several start up points and eventually they all went through Vienna. Do you think that she can get information through these archives for me? My ancestors traveled to Glogowatz Romania previously Othalom Hungary, and and during the time between 1750 and 1775. Can you ask her to email me?Bob Hain /Hein I just had a 15 year roadblock erased by a breakthrough with help from aresearcher in Timisoara who went to the archives for me. Moral 1: Some information is only available in the archives. Moral 2: Don't put too much weight in family stories. My migrants to theBanat were a good four generations before I was told and they went from anas-yet-unidentified place in Alsace-Lorraine to unidentified place, then toBilled and only then to Orzydorf. This is very different from the stories -quite a few generations were left out. I have added new ancestral names andlooking at old resources with a new eye.Right now I am trying to find out from where these folks migrated. Ifanyone shares ancestors with these names or spellings, I would love to hearfrom you.New names or spellings and places:Heil - Orzydorf (specifically the parents of Jacobus Heil b. before 1805)Fridrich - Billed (specifically the parents of Ignatius Fridrich b.1757)Jost - Billed Ningl, Ningl - BilledThe gal in Timisoara who helped me and another list member is familiar withthe archives, college educated, and fluent in English and Romanian.
