Hi everyone! I have found all of the Roll Call messages and responses extremely interesting! There have been so many villages and names that I've not been familiar with. I have the impression that most are Catholic villages and families. Whereas our Donaushaben were Lutheran and probably came later to Hungary. I know our families must have come about 1885-1886 to the Batschka. So the villages that I'm most familiar with are Kischker, Tscherwenka, Werbass, Torshau, Jarick, and Sekitsch. I do have some questions about all of this: >From 1786 onward, how religion segregated were our Donauschaben ancestors and how common would inter-religion marriages have been? I ask this because my hypothetical ancestor Johann Burghard Dietrich * 1769, who was Lutheran living in Kischker married a Catholic Christina Querin in Kula in 1788 (according to the Kula OSB). I can't find any more information about this couple nor about their parents. Did they move to another village? I assume they lived in Kischker. Does anyone have information about this couple living in any other Donauschaben village? Could be Lutheran, could be Catholic. Or information about Johann Burghard's parents Michael Dietrich, his wife Maria Gertraud Hoffmann or their other son Johann Matthais Dietrich? Thank you! Kind regards, Kelly

Kelly, I suspect inter-religion marriages were not that uncommon. My father was originally from a Catholic village (Palanka) and my mother from a Lutheran village (Sekitsch).

It might not have been common but it did happen. Do not forget Jewish. My maternal line goes back to Deta, Romania to the 1780's. My great grandmother was from a Jewish family (a brother of hers changed his surname to a more German sounding name to avoid the antisemitism of the day). My grandparents was Catholic. This explains the small percentage of Jewish genes in my DNA.

Speaking of inter-religious marriages, when I was in Neue Schowe this summer, I saw the plot of what the map says was once a Jewish cemetery. It was directly behind my grandfather’s house. It is now a plum orchard. Does anyone know anything about the Jews of Batschka? There’s a beautiful, giant and now abandoned synagogue in Novi Sad.
