Hi Dan, Thanks for you quick reply, it is very helpful. Thanks, Barb D -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Sedley Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 6:58 PM To: Barb D Cc: DVHH Subject: Re: [DVHH] Area's Hi Barb, The Treaty of Trianon, signed on June 4, 1920 eliminated the existence of Austria-Hungary. It was a result of WWI. Many of our ancestors thus became subjects of newly created nations, including Romania. If your grandparents emigrated after that date, the papers would likely show Romania, even though they were originally residents of the Banat, part of Austria-Hungary. I don't have the exact site right now, but I have found good maps on Internet searches, showing which villages were in Torontal County or Temes County. Due to previous research, I am sure that Gottlob was in Torontal County and Deutsch Sankt Michael was in Temes County. All the best. Dan S.
