Hello John & the list, My GRUNDHAUSER ancestors from Neunhausen were "quartered" in Lenauhem during the mid-1780's. I do not recognize the term Kurfurstenum Trier, and my on-line locator doesn't either. Could there be a misspelling? I could recommend a couple of good web sites for pursuing more related information. For German/Hungarian/Latin/English genealogical term translations, go to http://bigjohn.bmi.net/jjaso/ To pursue more research into the records of the [Banat] region where Lenauheim is located, go to http://www2.genealogy.net/gene/reg/ESE/dsrec.html#ofb Or try your query on the Banat List [BANAT-L@rootsweb.com] John Kronberger Littleton, Colorado > -----Original Message----- > From: Jawnsa@aol.com [SMTP:Jawnsa@aol.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 1999 12:06 PM > To: TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Balerier Family > > The Lenauheim homepage cites the BALBIERER family from Kurfurstenum Trier, > > according to the church register, as one of the 54 original families to > settle in Lenauheim in the Banat (1767). > > Does anyone have any further information about the BALBIERER family or the > > other 53 families?
