TALBOT, W. PAUL
eMail address: ptalbot@srvr.third-wave.com

I am searching for the following names: LAUSENDAUFER, Fabian and Mary Louise MERRINGER, Lutelis and Amanda BASINGER, Frank and Rebecca BARNDT. These are people in my ancestry from Austria/Hungary. I have had little luck finding out where they lived. All I know is that they emigrated to the USA in the approximate year of 1918. They came by ship, and landed in New York. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regions: Banat and later on perhaps Alsace Lorraine

Surnames: WERKMANN, WANSUNG (Changed to Wansong in US), BRUCH, DARDE, RECKTENWALDT

Another interested person would be my cousin, KARL WERKMANN, but at this time, I'll represent him on this list, if that's OK.

WARACK, CHRISTOPHER
eMail address: warackc@bellatlantic.net

REGION: Banat, near Temesoara, the town of Ghizela and perhaps others. It's now Western Romania.

SURNAMES: WARACK, HORRASZ, SCHNEIDER

My grandfather emigrated from the Banat during WW I. I'm pretty ignorant of how to proceed (since he died in 1938 and my grandmother died in 1968) in learning ANYTHING about the area. My living aunts and uncles were all born in the US. I'd love to just tune into what other people are doing or have done.


WENSON, PETER
eMail Address: Petewen@ameritech.net

Towns and corresponding surnames:
Kikinda:
WENSON, REFF, STRECKFUSS, REB, GEBHARDT, KASTORI, and SENDEF
Despot Sv. Ivan, Novi Schove, Novi Vrbas,Pivnice, Buljkes, and Torza:
WENZ, SCHICK, HUBER, FISCHER, FRANK, KITZER, KONRAD, BINDER, LANG, and WEISENBACH.

The only searching I've done is talk to relatives and construct a family tree as accurate and as detailed as possible, going back about 150 years.


WHITE, ANN BRILL
eMail address: anniebw@bellatlantic.net

I am looking for information on the the following surnames: BRILL, GLOSSMANN, and FORBAGER. My grandfather, Peter BRILL, was a Transylvania Saxon who came from the area of Timisoara, Romania. His father was killed in a threshing machine accident when he was an infant, and his mother remarried. Peter BRILL came to America after WWI and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and married Elizabeth GLOSSMANN. Peter's half sister is
Margaret FORBAGER of St. Petersburg, FL. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!


WIESE, KATHLEEN
eMail address: Pauljustin@aol.com

Location: Batschka - town of Apatin

Names: IMHOF, LORCH, and FLESS

According to family tradition, Georg IMHOF and Elizabeth LORCH, my maternal great-grandparents, left Apatin about 1903. They brought with them their three young daughters, Maria, Rozina, and Elizabeth. They first went to Saginaw, Michgan, where they worked on a farm for a few years; next, they went to St. Louis, where Georg worked in a factory, and where other IMHOFS already lived.

Another daughter, Helen, was born there in 1910; next, they moved to Loomis, Wisconsin, where they farmed, following an IMHOF brother and sister (who married a CHA-JA, later changed to SHIER); and finally, back to St. Louis, around 1919. By this time, my grandmother, Maria IMHOF, had married August C. FRIEHS, who left Silesia, with his parents, also around 1903.

Elizabeth LORCH, left behind a large family in Apatin, including her parents Ferdinand LORCH, and Rozina FLESS. Her youngest sister, Maria LORCH, however, also went to St. Louis and was married to Joseph KRIX. The oldest sister, Anna LORCH, married Frantz KOENIG. There were 10 other siblings.

I will be looking at microfilms at the local FHL, and already know the names IMHOF, LORCH, and FLESZ can be found in the 1828 Land Census of Hungary


WILSON, MAUREEN ANN
eMail address: MaureenAW@aol.com

Mary NOVAK born Abt. March of 1863 married George DUCUS or DUGAS born about April 1860. In the 1920 Pennsylvania Census it states that they were both from Austria and their mother language was Slovakian. Both of their parents are listed as the same. They had 11 children. George Jr. was born in presumably Austria October 1883. The remaining children were born in Pennsylvania (mostly in Wayne and Scraton counties). The 1920 Pennsylvania Census states that they became naturalized citizens in 1895 but I do not no which county in Pennsylvania that this occurred.

WRAY, BETTY
eMail address: 73733.351@compuserve.com

Dora LANYI born 15 Aug 1874, Golnitzbanya, Hungary. (father: Joseph LANYI). To my knowledge, this is present day Gelnica Spiaska Nova Ves. I checked LDS microfilms for both Catholic and Lutheran church and did find some LANYI name entries, but could not find any Joseph or Dora. The LANYI entries in film were earlier than I could connect into.

She married Anton REGNIER (later changed name to Renye upon arriving in USA). They were married in Philadelphia 8 Oct 1904. Regnier came originally from Alsace Lorraine but came to the Triebswetter (Torontal) area around 1650. Some of the family married into TOUTTENUITS family (of which I have very little info).

I am interested in the following towns:
- Brinje, Croatia
- Carpinis, Romania
- Cenei, Romania
- Dalmatia, Croatia
- Krajina, Croatia
- Soltur, Yugoslavia
I am interested in the following names:

- POSOJEVICH (Cenei)
- ROSILIER (Soltur)
- VUCETIC (Cenei, Dalmatia, Krajina)

I have found an excellent reference book series on the Medieval Balkans from the University of Michigan Press by John V. A. Fine:
The Early Medieval Balkans, A Critical Survey from the Sixth to Late Twelfth Century and
The Late Medieval Balkans A Critical Survey from the Late Twelfth Century to the Ottoman Conquest. As of yet, there are only these two volumes in the series. I am eagerly awaiting any future volumes. These volumes can be found at Borders Books. I have yet to find a more thorough and scholarly history of this region. I am also joining the Croatian Genealogical Society.

ZITZKA, RONALD
eMAIL address: RZITZKA@AOL.COM

I am researching surnames: ZITZKA, BAUMGARTNER, KORNACKER from Glogovatz or Schondorf (Schoendorf) Austria-Hungary (both are near Arad) My grandparents Wendal J. ZITZKA and Barbara BAUMGARTNER and my great grandparents Anton BAUMGARTNER and Anna KORNACKER immigrated to Tonawanda, New York 1911 and 1912 from Glogovatz. I believe that there are family still remaining in those two towns which are now in Romania. I would appreciate any information.
