GROSSART, KAREN E.
eMail Address: Grossart@MCS.Net

Researching the GROSSART Family in Tscherwenka or Cservenka, Bacs-Bodrog, Austria-Hungary (later Yugoslavia, now ??)
Adam GROSSART (25 Sep 1859 - 6 Sep 1911)
His wife: Barbara ART (5 Nov 1861 - 10 Feb 1940)
Their Children: Philip GROSSART (25 Nov 1881 - 12 May 1972)
Elizabeth GROSSART (c. 1884)
Adam GROSSART (c. 1892)
They immigrated to Chicago in 1903-1906.

Does anyone know where the evangelische Kirche (Lutheran church) records are? I have heard that the church in Cservenka, as well as many others, was burned down after WWII. I am also looking for any pictures and history of the town, what life was like then.

Resources:

Books:
1. Familienbuch Kunbaja 1819-1946 (1700-1994) by Andreas Ginal
2. Kunbaja 1819-1946 by Jakob Brandt
3. Germans and Hungarians 1828 Land Census Bacs-Bodrog, Hungary by Martha Remer Connor
4. Der Neue Grosse Shell Atlas 95/96
5. Wegweiser für Forschungen nach Vorfahren aus den ostdeutschen und sudetendeutschen Gebieten sowie aus den deutschen Siedlungsräumen in Mittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa, published by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft ostdeutscher Familienforscher e.V., Edited by Erich Quester

The first of these books contains genealogies for all residents of Kunbaja and is going to press for a new edition shortly. If you are interested in ordering a copy from the author for DM45, let me know soon. (2/18/95) I believe the second is out of print. The third is a compilation from LDS microfilm, its only virtue is in being easier to read. It is an index to the information, not much information in itself. Can be ordered by sending $25 to Mrs. Connor. The fourth is useful for finding small towns in Germany. Available in any good bookstore in Germany.

HULSOPPLE, GINGER ACHTSCHIN
eMail address: huls@server-f.iadfw.net

My grandfather was Alois ACHTSCHIN. He was born in Vienna, Austria cir 1870. He married Anna Maria SATTLER, born in Leibach, Austria 3/17/1878. My understanding is that the town of Leibach was renamed after WWI. It is supposed to be in or near Lubjlana. Anna was a lady-in-waiting for a Baronness before her marriage. She was also a seamstress and Alois was a tailor. They emigrated to the US in 1906, first to Iowa and then to Chicago and finally Cleveland, OH. They died within 6 weeks of each other around 1948, 4 years before I was born.

My problem is this: We know nothing of Alois' family - NOTHING! My great-aunt (Anna's sister) knew some sort of "secret" that she swore she would take with her to her grave - and she did! To complicate the matter, we heard that most of the family in Austria emigrated some time around WWII to the upstate NY area and changed the spelling of the name to Americanize it.

I would very much like to find out something about our family name and history. My father is now 85. His only sibling, Anne, is now 89. They both are hoping that I will be able to find some kind of information about the family.
