Hi Jennifer, I don’t have much, but maybe this can be useful as a starting point. The transcribed 1828 Hungarian Land Census, vol 5 - Temes County lists multiple Maltri names living in Gyarmatha: Johann, Nicolaus, Jacob, Vilhelm, and (another) Nicolaus. There’s no info beyond the names. In David Dreyer’s “Banaters in Austrian Military Records”, there is a Jacob Maltri listed in the Grundbach Records of the 61st Infantry Regiment. The record gives Jacob’s birth year as 1832, birth place as Jahrmarkt, and year inducted as 1855 (FHL film number 1393668). The original military records have been digitized, but you need to be at a Family History Center to see the images. If someone has the Jahrmarkt FB by Stefan Stader or by Franz Junginger, they can likely find your family. The digital images for the Kirchenbuch for Jahrmarkt/Gyarmatha/Temesgyarmat (years 1730-1836) are online at https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/12639?availability=Family%20History%20Library but they aren’t easy to read. For my own family searches where it sometimes seems like only two first names were available, :-) I’ve found it helpful to use the FB as a starting point, and then gone looking in the KB to verify relationships and for additional details that might not have been included in the FB.
