This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Roth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HJEBAIB/808 Message Board Post: Edward Roth was born in 1848, likely at or near Rothkirchen, near Weisskirchen, east of Belgrade, near the Romanian border--the Banat. He left at the age of 14 to escape conscription. I wish to locate sources (church records, etc.) in the area to research Roth's ancestry. He eventually settled in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
