Hi Hans, As far as I know, for the Lutheran villages in the Batschka, there were no surviving records. Some fleeing families possibly carried some records with them. The only records I've found in Family History Library here in Salt Lake City (the Mormons) have been for some Catholic churches. Other than that I've only found the various Ortsipinbücher for Lutheran villages in the Batschka and various books and articles about Auswanderer from the various Germanic States. There has been much written about the German Colonists that emigrated from Hungary from the Batschka and Banat to South Russia. Somehow my families are not among those mentioned. Many came from Torschau and Werbass/ NeuWerbass Kind regards, Kelly ________________________________ From: DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES <[email protected]> on behalf of Hans Kopp via DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2018 12:09 AM To: Daniela hieslmayr; [email protected] Subject: Re: [DVHH] Roll Call 2018 Hi It is very unfortunately that so many records were lost. When we were marched off to death camps the Catholic Diocese went to the Catholic Churches and saved the record. Which where also microfilmed by the Mormons. Did the Lutheran and Reformed Churches did the same? If so your best source would be the Mormons.
