Hello Karen, Thank You for your reply. Actually I am looking for the village in Moravia where George and Franz PROHASZKA came from? My line: Stader Book: #41785 PROHASZKA (Prokoczka, Prohaczky) Georg * circa 1713, +23.4.1794 in Filipowa/Batschka, spouse Marianna NN, * circa 1732, +31.3.1796; registered Vienna June 1765, from Mähren (=Moravian) area of today's Czech Republic, to Filipova. So George is likley his father. And Franz was likley born in Mähren. See Franz in the Fillipowa Osb below: Fillipowa OSB: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = P 368 Prohaszka Georg oo N. ... Marianna + 23.04.1794 (81J) + 31.03.1796 (64J) = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = P 369 Prohaszka Franz *... um 1756 + 18.11.1791 (35J) oo 07.02.1777 (20/18J) TZ: Milla Wenzeslaus, Matuschek Matthias Wituschek Veronika *... um 1760 (2.oo Milla Georg) + 25.12.1828 (66J?) 10 Kinder: Johann * 25.03.1778 + 23.11.1781 TP: Merta Frz u Kremer Rosi Rosina * 24.09.1779 + 07.12.1798 „ „ Marianna * 28.02.1781 oo Ament Johann „ „ Franz * 07.04.1782 + 03.04.1784 „ „ Josef * 01.01.1784 oo Eschbach Theresia „ „ Franz * 29.10.1785 + 30.01.1786 „ „ Katharina * 21.01.1787 + 21.08.1787 „ „ Anna * 31.10.1788 oo Piller Georg „ „ Eva * 09.10.1790 + 10.10.1790 Nottaufe Michael * 14.09.1791 + 19.09.1791 „ „ Note Sure what you mean by "Anyone registered in Vienna would not have had connections to German Hesse unless married to a citizen of the Austrian Empire at the time they registered. Prussia and Austria were enemies and were even at war before 1780 (see 7 years war at any Internet site with that information)." My Amend asectors from north Franconia in todays "North Baden" In 1764 First went to Karlsrue to ask for permission to go to the Batschka then registered in Wien, Austria where the were given land ect to go there and farm. This was during the 2nd migration period. So I am not sure what you are saying? About the 7 year war? Also I am not sure but assume that Moravia is a German speaking area? Was it once part of the German empire? I am told that: The name Prohaska is Moravian (Procházka) and means "walk/Spaziergang", "to be on the road/auf der Wanderschaft sein", "journeymen/Wandergeselle". It also means "lazybones/Faulenzer" and is a synonym for a run away subject (entlaufener Untertan).

However, I have not studied them and do not know that for sure. The death record for Andreas in 1767 in Banat does not tell us much except that some sort of registration took place in Vienna in 1763. The other two records show Bohemian/ Moravia places of residence before going to Hungary. if you find that the above notation is all the data the film contains, please post that result on the list. I can only assume that you want Prohaszka from Banat/Batshka. I am unclear about just whose father Georg might be and how that is relevant to your family tree. Anyone registered in Vienna would not have had connections to German Hesse unless married to a citizen of the Austrian Empire at the time they registered. Prussia and Austria were enemies and were even at war before 1780 (see 7 years war at any Internet site with that information). You may find more information about the surname Prohaszka in the LDS film: Grundbuchblatter Diverse. At least it will tell you where the name was still found in Moravia / Mähren after about 1740.
