Latest Update: 27 September 1996
Background FEEFHS thanks Ewald Keil of Germany for his eMail message of 16
June in which made us aware this way of Romeo Bernreuther and this database. Ewald said:
"Maybe somebody at FEEFHS is interested in the following information of my friend Romeo
Bernreuther, sysop of the greatest FIDO (no WWW links possible, only e-mail exchange!)
BBS in southwest Germany, having become only recently a very 'agressive' genealogist. He
speaks English. Here is Romeo's information, in free translation, with some terms left in
German...":
(Message from Romeo): "I am establishing, in cooperation with a 'Heimatbund', a
database of persons from the villages and towns where the ancestors of my maternal
grandmother lived (as of now, about 800 persons). These villages are located in the
'Karpathen-Ukraine' and were populated by Austrian immigrants, in 1775. If you meet
somebody who does research in that northwestern corner of late 'Oesterreich-Ungarn', feel
free to pass my address to her or him."

In June 1996 FEEFHS contacted Romeo, who lives in Weinstadt Germany (just east of
Stuttgart). Romeo provided us with the following copyrighted information which we are
pleased to share with all persons who browse this web site:
Karpatho-Ukraine Database. This has been prepared by Romeo Bernreuther and the
Theresientaler Hematbund. "This database was established using Brothers Keeper for WIN
software. Thus it can be exported in GEDCOM-format. Also an ASCII list can be created of
the persons with date of birth, marriage, death and the appropriate parents"
On 9 July 1996 this Karpatho-Ukraine-Database
was posted on this web site.
Romeo does this work together with the President of the Theresientaler Heimatbund.
"The database can not be accessed via mail or online, because there we have no way to
integrate it in our BBS-software."

Facts about the Karpatho-Ukraine Database:
- It contains "More than 800 Personen born between 1750-1996".
- All are "immigrants from Austria (Salzkammergut) and their descendants".
- Karpathen-Ukraine Villages: "Our database now contains over 800 persons
from
the following villages in the Karpathen-Ukraine (names german / hungarian)":
- Deutsch Mokra (Nemet Mokra)
- Russisch Mokra (Orosz Mokra)
- Koenigsfeld (Kiralymeszoe), Ust-Corna
- Dombo (Dubove)
- Gross-Tarna (Nagy-Tarna)
- Brustura
- Location: "They are all east of Munkatsch (Muncazs / Munkacevo). To locate
them on the map look for the actual names Dubove (=Dombo) or Ust-Corna (=Koenigsfeld)
in South-Ukraine near the border to Hungary or Romania."

Note from Romeo: "In the documents, the names may vary because they were written by
hungarian-speeking priests. p.e. (i.e): DACZER for DACER or CZEPECZAUER for
ZEPEZAUER. We use only the German spelling. We have documents of about 200 more
persons. They will be entered in July."
"We would (plan to) write some information about the history, the austrian immigrants from
1775 and maybe some geographical information. Maybe some maps too. And the database
or a person list."
The Karpathen-Ukraine-Database was first posted on 9
July 1996.
