APPLING, TERRY
eMail address: twa@eznet.com

My immigrant ancestor was Michael (John) HENNING, who came to the USA from Austria-Hungary in 1889. For unknown reasons, John refused to talk about his family or his former homeland, so nearly everything that we know came from a brother, who came several years later. Michael was born in "Agnetheln, Siebenbürgen, Österreich", according to his marriage certificate. Parents were John HENNING and Mary TIEL. He left his home shortly after his mother died, when he was 18 years old, headed for Cleveland, where there was "other family", and ultimately to South Dakota, where he began farming. Interestingly, in the 1910 census, Michael listed his nationality as "German", while his brother George listed nationality as "Magyar."

Associated families: HERBERT, KASLER, WALMA, SELL

So far, the only documents that I have found relating to the Hermannstadt area are some films of military records through the local FHC. My other research mainstay is a wonderful world atlas by Rand-McNally, published "auf Deutsch" in 1892, with enlarged maps of all German-settled areas of Europe.

My proper name is Ludwig Peter ARNOLD. I am direct descendent of Johann ARNOLD of Liebling, Roumania, b. 1683 in Harta. I have a family tree in Family Tree Maker for Windows which I am trying to extend at any point. I therefore have and I'm also looking for information on the following family names from Liebling:

I am currently trying to trace the CRODITIER line. I am aware of KRODITIER, GRODITIER, GROSDIDIER, GRODITJE, etc. in neighboring towns of Charleville, Triebswetter and Pardan; I haven't linked them to my tree yet. Franz Croditier (Ferenc Kroditier) died in Deutsch Zerne May 18, 1888. Wife: Barbara MÜLLER. They had 10 children, only 2 of which lived beyond the age of 30. Some of the children's deaths are recorded in Kikinda, Magyar Zerne, and Toba, but primarily in Deutsch-Zerne. I would appreciate anyone checking emigration references by Werner Hacker or Clifford Neal Smith. I have checked Kallbrunner index. I would like to contact anyone involved in the Bambach reunions held in Germany every second year. I understand that in recent years one was held in Frankfurt. A dance at the Frankfurter Ruderclub was among the events scheduled.

I currently have two Peter BIRONGs born in, and living in Kathreinfeld at the same time, married to two different women, Theresa STEINSEIFER and Anna HETTRICH. Can you help me figure out their relationship to one another? I descend from the HETTRICH line and I have "cousins" that descend from the STEINSEIFER line. This is a MAJOR question for us and would help us determine our relationship to one another.

BELCHER, KAREN
eMail address: KarenBW5@aol.com

Most of the information I have on my Transylvanian Schwabian ancestors comes from a cousin who has traveled to Hungary and Romania several times. His success has been limited by the lack of available records. I have been unable to find anything on LDS microfilm, so far. I am looking for any information on a man who may have been a relative, or just a close family friend:

Janos ERNI, born 27 Jan, 1872, in Csanalos, Szabolcs Megye, Hungary (now Urziceni, Romania). He was ordained a Roman Catholic priest on 29 Jan, 1896. He served as village priest in Szinfalu, now Sii, from 1901 until his death in 1914, and he was buried in the village cemetery. He was godfather to many children in the TEMPFLI and DORNER families, and was called "Uncle," but that may have been out of respect and love. If anyone has information on his parents and/or siblings, please let me know. My ancestors were among the first Schwabian settlers of Csanalos / Urziceni, and came to the area around 1712. Most of my ancestors stayed in Csanalos / Urziceni, but some moved later to Nagy Karoly / Carei and Szaniszlo / Sanislau.

The names I am researching are: CZIMMERMAN or ZIMMERMAN, TEMPFLI, DORNER, ERNI, and BINDER. I would like to share information with anyone researching the same lines. I also have some more historical information on the area, which I would be happy to pass on. I also have a good map of Hungary, and would be happy to look up a town or village that someone is has been unable to find.


BENNING, MICHAEL
eMail address: MBenning@aol.com

Ethnic Group - German - Transylvania (Siebenburgen) Saxons
Location - Austria-Hungary (then) - Romania (now)
Villages - Waldhutten - Holdvilag - Elisabethstadt

My Grandfather Michael BENNING was born in the village of Waldhutten in 1892. The village was mostly German speaking people known as Transylvania Saxons. That part of Austria - Hungary had many such town and villages. He came to the USA in 1909 at the same time many other Transylvania Saxon also came. He lived in the Pittsburgh - Cleveland - Detroit working in various factories until marrying and moving to California is 1921. He spent the rest of his life in California.

In terms of genealogical research I have had some success. Through the LDS Church Family History Center I have located microfilms of the village church records. The records go back to 1734. I have been able to find ancestors back to 1700. I have extracted and put on computer about 1800 names of people from the village and town around there from the film.

I am interested in contacting others people doing research among the Transylvania Saxons. I have many questions about what I saw while studying the microfilms. In particular I am interested to learn more about the customs and traditions of the people. Would also be willing to share what I have learned. Effort to locate find other researcher have had some results but not as much as I had hoped.

The prominent names in my pedigree are BENNING, CSAKI (Hungarian), HARTMANN, KENSTLER, KLUSCH, PLATZ, SCHULLER and SCHUSTER.

eMail: l.blaser@utoronto.ca

I am looking for information about German-speaking family from the village of Bikacs in western Hungary. I am interested in the family names: BLASER, HACKL / HAKL and WENHARDT. My great grandmother Elizabeth Hackl-Blaser came to Canada around 189O with her two Blaser sons and her second Husband surnamed WENHARDT and settled in Saskatchewan. I found many family names in 1984 in the cemetery at Bikacs, but could not locate anyone who could speak German or English and I have no Hungarian. I would also be grateful for suggestions from experenced family historians as to how I can search further.

CRAWFORD, TERESA M. FRIEDRICH
eMail address: EdesTerike@aol.com

Region: Banat (currently Vojvodina, Serbia)

Towns:
Karlsdorf (currently Srbski Karlovac; formerly Banatski Karlovac, Karlovo Selo, Temeskarolyfalva, Nagykarolyfalva)
Alibunar
Nikolintz
Wekerle

Surnames: BUCHERT, SCHWARZ, DURAN, FESSNER, SONNLEITNER

Resources: "150 Years of Karlsdorf; History of the Community of Karlsdorf in the Banat; Volume 26 of the Annals of the Danube Swabians" by Hans Volk, Pannonia Press, Freilassing, 1958.

Josef Martin and Katharina (SCHWARZ) BUCHERT emigrated from Karlsdorf with their children in 1922. I am searching for additional information on their ancestors. I am also interested in obtaining copies of the other two books written about Karlsdorf: Ludwig Szmida's "The History of the Community of Karlsdorf" (1902), and Felix Milleker's "History of the Community of Banatski Karlovac" (1934).

My resource, which is in a translated manuscript form, contains only a brief overview of the village's history, and nothing on the origins of the inhabitants. It is very heavy, though, on 1939-1948 history, including the sufferings of the Karlsdorfers after November 1944. It also contains a lot of interesting information on folk customs and local businesses. I am willing to provide exerpts from the manuscript to serious researchers, and will respond to surname requests. A surname index of this book is available on AOL.
