Agaditsch (German)
Agaditsch (falu)(Hungarian) Agadics (Hungarian)
Agadici, Romania (Official)

Agadici is administered by the town Oraviţa / Orawitz

The history of Agadici can be traced back to at least the 1600s, when records note a population of 800 souls. Today, there are fewer than 200 people living in Agadici.

Agadici is a word derived from the Turkish language; Aga meaning 'colonel' and dici meaning 'daughter of.' Therefore, Agadici means, daughter of the colonel. The town was supposedly named after a colonel's daughter when the Ottoman Empire was in occupation of the land that is now the Banat.

Agadici was among 190 villages affected by the deportation to the Bărăgan Steppe in 1951.

As one of the largest suburbs of Belgrade and a large settlement in its own right, Borča developed several sub-neighborhoods of its own. Officially, Borča is divided into three "local communities" (mesna zajednica), sub-municipal administrative units: Stara Borča (foremerly Borča I), Borča Greda (formerly Borča II) and Nova Borča (formerly Borča III). Most of Borča is grouped into centers (Centar I to V), which are sometimes referred to as Borča I to V (Centar I = Borča I, etc).

This wonderful view was published in the Janssonius town books in 1650. The town books contain views of cities and towns from all over the world and were published at a time when Joannes and Cornelis Blaeu were still planning their "cities of the world". But contrary to what the Blaeus had produced and were to produce, Janssonius's work was not original throughout. Janssonius had acquired the plates of the Civitates orbis terrarum from Abraham Hogenberg. The bulk was incorporated into the townbooks. For many plates of the cities of the Netherland, Janssonius ordered copper plates, newly engraved after the orininals by Blaeu. Further artists are only partly known.

Size of map appr: 32,5 x 44,5 cm, Size of leaf appr: 49,5 x 59,5 cm. Large decorative colored copper engraving view of "Palanka superioris Hungariae civitas." after Georg Hoefnagel, Amsterdam, um 1650 A.D. aus "Theatrum Praecipuarum Urbium" [Janssonius Städtebuch]

Timis County - Western Romania

About 46km from Timisoara.

Altringen is administered by Bogda ( Neuhof).

Between 1770 - 1771 the old village was subject to colonization by German General Johann Altringen, a period in which the entire Banat is subject to colonization by Germans. General Altringen, acting governor of the Banat, ordered the establishment of several villages for German settlers in this area. These Charlottenburg (named after his wife) and Altringen. To make room for German settlers, the native population was relocated to other villages. Altringen Romanians continued to use the name or Recheşel Recăşel until the interwar period.

The Neumannsche settlement resulted in 1770 establishing the following villages: Kleinjetscha, Heufeld, Mastort, Marienfeld, Albrechtsflor und 1771 zur Besiedlung des Berksowatals: Buchberg, Neuhof, Altringen, Charlottenburg, Königshof, Blumenthal and the villages of the Arader Land Segenthau, Wiesenhaid, Kreuzstätten and the French villages Sankt-Hubert, Seultour und Charleville. (Source: Quellennachweis: Donauschwäbische Geschichte. Das Jahrhundert der Ansiedlung 1689-1805 von Oskar Feldtänzer) [Note: Von Neumann, official with the Transylvanian Salt Depot in Lippa].

In 1910 the Germans accounted for 88% of the population of Altringen. After the Second World War their number decreases rapidly. By 1992 the Germans had migrated completely. Romanian people are the majority today, most of whom emigrated from other parts of Romania.

Today the village is predominantly a holiday village in the city. Recently opened hostel arranged here and a Swabian style.

Banatsko Veliko Selo, Yugoslavia (Official) " name means "the big village in Banat" A village in the Kikinda municipality, in the North Banat District of the Republic of Serbia. It is situated in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.

Following Ottoman rule, there were no proper settlements in the present location of the village. Following an order by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria on November 25, 1763, the right to settle this area was given exclusively to Roman Catholics. In 1770 and 1771, this area was settled by French settlers from the Lorraine region and by southwestern German settlers, the southwestern German settlers later becoming known as the Banat Swabians. They founded three villages- Sankt Hubert, Charleville and Seultour. In the course of the late 18th century, these settlements changed hands several times. Over time, the French settlers were assimilated into the German population. After World War II, the Germans fled to Germany and Serb families from Bosnia came to the settlements. One larger village named Veliko Selo was formed out of the three existing German villages. In 1948, its name was changed to Banatsko Veliko Selo. The names of the former German villages are today used as names for districts within the larger village.

Bukovac, Serbia (Official)

NOTE: There are also villages named Bukovac in central Serbia and in former Yugoslav republics.

South Banat District Vojvodina - NE District of Serbia

Bukovac, village in Novi Sad City is in Serbia. It is situated in the Petrovaradin urban municipality (one of two municipalities of the City of Novi Sad), in the Vojvodina province.

Bukovac is geographically located in Syrmia, but it is part of South Bačka District. The village is situated on the brows of Fruška Gora mountain, and it is part of the metropolitan area of Novi Sad. It takes 9 kilometers from Novi Sad city center to reach the village.

Bukovac was founded during the Ottoman rule in the 16th century by the Serb settlers. There is a Serbian Orthodox church from 1808 in the village. The name Bukovac is thought to be derived from the word for a tree - 'bukva' ('beech'). The legend says when first settlers settled where now village's center is, there was an old beech so they named the place Bukovac upon that tree.

The village has a Serb ethnic majority and its population is 3,595 (2002 census). Previous population counts: 1961: 1,329; 1971: 2,012; 1981: 2,641; 1991: 3,040. Village's population was boosted throughout late 1950s, '60s and early '70s when settlers from Bosnia came to Vojvodina.

Ernsthausen was founded in 1822 by Danube Swabians settlers and named after an Austrian army officer Field Marshal, Lieutenant Ernest Kiss de Elemer. The settlers were exclusively Roman Catholic in faith, and in 1844 they built a large schoolhouse which was used until 1944. During the 19th and early 20th century Danube Swabians played an important role in developing the economy. Dr. Sepp Janko, chairman of the Schwäbisch-Deutschen Kulturbundes (Danube Swabian German Cultural Association) was born here in 1905. On 8 December 1888 the newly built Gothic style Roman Catholic church was opened (it was demolished in 1945).

The 1930 census showed a population of 2421 people. After 1945 all the Danube Swabians were deported and all evidence their existence was systematically destroyed or obscured by the Communist authorities.

Village of South Banat District (Vojvodina: The Serbian Banat, which is located in the western part in northeastern Serbia); approximately 11 km N of Pančevo and 21 km NW of Belgrade.

The town was founded in 1787. By 1921 its population included 4,450 Germans, which comprised 97.7 percent of the total population of the time. It was also the location of a concentration camp for local civilians of German origin held by Partisans after World War II. After World War II, the town was colonized by Serbs who came from Bosnia, Krajina, Lika, and Dalmatia as well as Macedonians who came from Macedonia.

On May 11, 1999 during the NATO Bombing Campaign of the Kosovo War, the town was targeted by NATO forces in a mission to destroy an apparent tactical reporting post. There were also unsubstantiated claims of an F-16 being shot down on the outskirts of Kačarevo in the early morning hours of May 8, 1999 by a surface-to-air missile, while speculation also suggests that the pilot ejected safely as there was an intensive search by Yugoslav military during the night and during the next morning.
The number of reported inhabitants of the town in 2002 was 7,624, in approximately 2,529 households. The majority of inhabitants are ethnic Serbs (5,042 or 66.13%), while Macedonians form 19.24% of the population or 1,467 people. Unfortunately, about 8 percent of the towns' population are either refugees or internally displaced persons, mostly resulting from recent wars in Kosovo and Bosnia.

" Verlorene Heimat Georgshausen " Author: Dr. Josef Wüst (1925-2003), commissioned by the village association in 1989 and published in Austria in 1991 by former villagers: Helmut Birg, Hans Loch, Konrad Löchel and Josef Wüst.

Verlorene Heimat Georgshausen 1849-1945 (in German); Wüst, Josef (1991). Translated to English Lost Homeland Georgshausen by Henry Fischer. Ray Borschowa (published 2008). Barbara Hebenstreit, the author's daughter, proof read the entire book. Editors: Ray Borschowa and Barbara Hebenstreit. Published by Ray Borschowa. Since Georgshausen was a daughter community of Zichydorf, the descendents of either village should find the book interesting, or anyone who wants to read about community life in a small village in the Banat. The author covers holiday celebrations, customs and community life quite well.

Ray Borschowa comments:Henry Fischer has a great knowledge of the Danube Swabian culture and dialect, because of that he did a wonderful translation, without him this work would not have been accomplished. He has written several books on the Danube Swabians. Since the original book used local words, it was unlike translating a typical German book, but fortunately, we were able to contact a number of the former villagers who helped answer the numerous questions that arose during the translation. In addition, the author's daughter, Barbara Hebenstreit, proof read the entire book.

A short history of the Banat.

The consequences of the First World War.

The founding of Georgshausen in 1849 and its development, such as the railroad, artesian wells, enlarging the village, church life, politics and industry. Also its bond with Zichydorf.

WWII and shortly after. About 55 pages are devoted to this. It includes many personal stories, and the tragedies that WWII brought to the village.

Sending one book to Canada is $21.20, there is no media mail rate for Canada. However, I may be able to mail it from within Canada for much less. I am checking into this option. Multiple books can be sent to Canada much cheaper in flat rate postal boxes. There are two flat rate boxes, one will hold three books and costs $24 for postage ($8 per book), there is a bigger box that will hold five books and costs $30 for postage ($6 per book). For the folks in the Regina area, I will be sending them in bulk to Glenn Schwartz and you can pick up a copy at his house.

Life in the village and the customs; about 50 pages. The author did a very good job with this topic. In the chapter "This is the Way it was Back Home" he starts with the beginning of the year and discusses all of the major events and holidays throughout the year. He also includes the customs for baptisms, weddings and funerals.

The Birg family of Georgshausen, formerly from Karlsdorf. The Birgs were one of the most well known families throughout the Banat. They were industrialists and large farmers. The life and legends about this family are covered in the book.

Housing, eating and drinking.

Agriculture, industry, shopkeepers and trades.

Social organizations and the activities and games for the children.

"An Excursion to the Kirchweih in Gross Gaj." This is a humorous story that took place when the automobile was still a novelty in the Banat. A group of young men commandeered a traveling salesman's automobile and drove it to the Kirchweih celebration in the neighboring village of Gross Gaj. The problem was they did not know anything about cars, nor was the road suited for auto travel! It turned out to be a sensation in Gross Gaj.

The names of the villagers who were living in the village at Easter of 1941 and where the former villagers were living in 1991.

A table of words from the local dialect.

Dr. Wüst wrote the book in a style that Germans refer to as: "to the heart going," its like he is sitting there telling the story. Primary topics covered:
A 1941 village map showing where each family lived.
The English edition has additional pages and footnotes added to describe some things in more detail. It also has about 30 more pictures than the German edition . Total number of pictures in the book is a little over 150. It's a hard cover book. C ounting the introductory section and a few blank pages , the book is 294 pages.

The price is $46 (USD or CAD), plus shipping.
Shipping rates: In the US, the book can be shipped by media mail for $3.

The postage for sending one book to Germany, Austria, Serbia or Hungary is $25.15 (16 EUR) , sending three in a flat rate box to those countries is $39 (24.72 EUR). Total cost to Europe for one book is $71.15 (45.15 EUR).

Nagy Gaj was belonging to the Bishop of Nagybecserek (Zrenjanin) where the Hungarian researcher László Rudolf found the Birth-Marriage-Death records: 1918-1926 (duplicate) for Veliki Gaj (Nagy Gáj/Gross Gaj). And it is for sure that it is not about the original church registers but about a copy on them which, theoretically, after 1825, must be forwarded each year to the superiors.

In "Adalekok a Zrenjanini-Nagy Becskereki Egyhazmegye tortenetehez" [by ERÖS Lajos, 1993]. Translation: [Contribution to the history of Zrenjanin-Nagy Becskerek Churches]. The author gives the exact location [church, civil registration/mayoralty, archives] for the church registers for each village/parish/church in Serbian Banat. Unfortunately, for Nagygay/Maleniczfalva ERÖS Lajos is positive: the church registers were kept separately starting 1832 but "mind megsemmisultek" [translation: everything was lost].

L ocated in the Plandište municipality, about 1 km SE of the Romanian border, 30 km E of Pantschowa, about 70 km NE of Belgrade.

The village was first mentioned in 1355 under name Gaj. In the 17th century, the name of the village was changed to Veliki Gaj. During the Ottoman rule (16th-17th century), the village was mostly populated by ethnic Serbs.

Malenicafalva Q Torontál m. Zichyfalvai j., ház 114, L 880, п., (symbol circle/cross) terulete : Is. Nagy-Gajuál, tsz, Nagy Becskerek, jb. es adh. Modos, 29, XIV, u.p. Nagy Gáj.

In 1848, Josif Malenica, landowner of Veliki Gaj led the Germans to work on the property and founded a new settlement next to Veliki Gaj, thus named it Malenicafalva, which merged with Veliki Gaj in 1888; both settlements counted 2569 residents.

In 1850-1854, thanks to landowners help, the church was built, and named for his deceased son, St Peter. In this church is the tomb of landowner Malenica, which are all buried (first they were buried in the old church, so they were moved to a new tomb in the church, where they are today).

Ordered by landowner Malenica, the village was laid out with straight streets and the houses were built next to the street. Before that they all were inside the house, the yard, to protect from peeping into the house, theft or breaking into homes. According to the claims of Veliki Gaj was then notorious settlement due to theft and robbery. There were often fights among Serbs, Germans, Hungarians and other nationalities.

The village was founded/colonized with Germans settlers coming from Banat in 1816.

Filial parish of Deutsch-Stamora [between 1816-1832].

The parish was raised in 1832 [and the church registers were kept separately starting 1832]. The RC church, SS Nomen B.M.V., was raised in 1854-'55 and was blessed in 1856.

Maleniczfalva and Nagy Gaj merged in 1889 [or 1885?] and the RC parish was moved from Malenitzfalva to Nagy Gaj.

Since 1716, the village was part of the Habsburg Monarchy, which encouraged the settlement of German-speaking Donauschwaben (Danube Swabians) and others. In 1910, the population of the village numbered 2,930 inhabitants, including 1,456 Serbs, 743 Hungarians, and 620 Germans. After the First World War, the village became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (renamed to Yugoslavia in 1929). During the Second World War (1941-1944), the village was under Axis occupation, and was part of the autonomous Banat region within German-occupied Serbia.

After the war, the village was part of the new socialist Yugoslavia, within the Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and Socialist Republic of Serbia. The German and Hungarian population was been expelled in 1944/45. In 1991, the village had 897 inhabitants, including 883 Serbs, and 14 ethnic Hungarians.

Since 1992, the village was part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, that in 2003 was transformed into the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. Since the dissolution of this state in June 2006, the village became part of an independent Serbia.

Caras-Severin County - Western Romania

Legend has it that the weary Hercules stopped in the valley to bathe and rest. During the 165 years of Roman domination of Dacia, the Herculaneum Spa was known all over the Empire. Unearthed stone carvings show that visiting Roman aristocrats turned the town into a Roman leisure center. Six statues of Hercules from the time have been discovered. A bronze replica of one of them, molded in 1874, stands as a landmark in the town center.

In modern times, the spa town has been visited for its natural healing properties: hot springs with sulfur, chlorine, sodium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals, as well as negatively ionized air. Before World War II, when the first modern hotel was built (i.e. H Cerna, 1930) it remained a popular destination with Western Europeans, who lent the town a refined elegance. During the Communist rule, mass tourism facilities were built, such as the 8-12 levels tall concrete hotels Roman, Hercules A, Hercules B, Afrodita, Minerva, Diana, UGSR, etc. which dominate the skyline. It was visited by all publics, but especially popular with employees and retirees, who would spend their state-allotted vacation vouchers there, hoping to improve their health. Today, they share the town with a younger crowd, attracted by its beautiful mountain setting. An incredible array of new private-owned pensions and hotels appeared after 1989, along the Cerna/Tiena river banks, spread from the beautiful romantic train station to the end of the hydroelectrical dam. Although very beautiful also, some of the Austro-Hungarian era buildings are derelict for the time being, including many of the baths, because of post-communism property related issues.

militärische Nachlässe

Sollte Ihnen das Regiment nicht bekannt sein, können Sie versuchen, den Truppenkörper (das Regiment) anhand folgender Tabelle herauszufinden: Übersichtstabelle der Werb- (Ergänzungs-) Bezirks-Einteilung 1781-1889 (JPG 1350 kB) (aus: Wrede, Geschichte der k. und k. Wehrmacht, Band 1)

Die Grundbuchsblätter Salzburg, Tirol und Vorarlberg werden im Kriegsarchiv nur bis Geburtsjahrgang 1864 verwahrt, ab 1865 in den jeweiligen Landesarchiven.

Weiters verwahrt das Kriegsarchiv alphabetische Reihen der Grundbuchsblätter der Kronländer Böhmen, Mähren und Österreichisch-Schlesien, bis Geburtsjahrgang 1864.

Ebenso unvollständige Grundbuchsblätter-Serien:

Sudeten I (Geburtsjahrgänge 1865-1875),

Sudeten II (Geburtsjahrgänge 1865-1900),

Fremde (alte Reihe bis Geburtsjahrgang 1864) von K-Z,

Fremde (Geburtsjahrgänge 1870-1900),

Neue Alphabetische Reihe (enthält vorwiegend Grundbuchsblätter von Personen aus den Kronländern Galizien und Ungarn, aber auch aus allen anderen Kronländern der Monarchie und auch von Ausländern, die in der k.k./k. u. k. Armee gedient haben.)

Die Stellungslisten (1865-1918 - Stellungspflicht = Verpflichtung zwecks Entscheidung über die Wehrfähigkeit vor einer Stellungskommission, vergleichbar mit der heutigen Musterung) sind nach politischen Bezirken beziehungsweise Städten, jahrgangsweise geordnet.

Zusätzliche Unterlagen für Offiziere:

Qualifikationslisten (1869-1918, Beschreibung der Offiziere)

Rangprotokolle (zirka 1900-1918)

Rang- und Einteilungslisten (1914-1918)

Gedruckte Ranglisten der Regimenter (1834-1918)

Die Namen der Eltern sind in diesen Unterlagen nicht zu finden.

Eine genaue Beschreibung zu den Beständen können Sie unserem Archivinformationssystem (AIS) entnehmen (Kriegsarchiv - Personalunterlagen)

Es ist zu beachten, dass die Grundbuchsblätter und Stellungslisten für die Geburtsjahrgänge von zirka 1850 bis 1900, sofern sie Personen betreffen, die ihr Heimatrecht außerhalb der Grenzen der heutigen Republik Österreich besessen hatten, nach dem Zerfall der Habsburger Monarchie (1918) nicht in das Wiener Kriegsarchiv gelangt sind.

Sie sind gemäß den Friedensbestimmungen von Saint-Germain (1919) in den Nachfolgestaaten verblieben, wo sie zum Großteil vernichtet wurden.

Auszeichnungen und Kriegsverluste

Das Kriegsarchiv verwahrt weiters subsidiäre Unterlagen über Auszeichnungen und Kriegsverluste des Ersten Weltkrieges 1914-1918:

Weitere Informationen und Links zur Personenforschung im Kriegsarchiv

Das Werk "Geschichte der k. u. k. Wehrmacht - Die Regimenter, Corps, Branchen und Anstalten von 1618 bis Ende des XIX. Jahrhunderts" von Alphons Freiherrn von Wrede (5 Bände, Wien 1898-1905) ist ein gutes Hilfsmittel zur Feststellung, welcher Truppenkörper in Frage kommen könnte, zumal hier unter anderem die Errichtungen, Ergänzungen, Feldzüge und Friedens-Garnisonen der Truppenkörper dokumentiert werden.

In unserer Linksammlung finden Sie unter anderem biographische Nachschlagewerke und Datenbanken.

Weiters können bei fehlenden Basisinformationen die jeweils zuständigen Landesarchive kontaktiert werden. Sie finden im Archivregister die Kontaktdaten der österreichischen Bundes-, Landes-, Kommunal- und Privatarchive.

1869-1918

Für die Suche nach Personen, die im Zeitraum 1869-1918 gedient haben, ist neben dem Geburtsjahr die Kenntnis der Heimatzuständigkeit (muss nicht mit dem Geburtsort übereinstimmen) erforderlich.

Die Grundbuchsblätter, die Auskunft über die Militärdienstzeit geben (also auch Veränderungen während der Militärdienstzeit, wie Heirat/Kinder), sind nach den Bundesländern Wien, Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Steiermark, Kärnten, Burgenland bis Geburtsjahrgang 1900 geordnet.

Personenforschung (Familienforschung) ist zeitaufwändig

Das Kriegsarchiv verwahrt keineswegs alle militärischen Personalunterlagen aus der Zeit vor 1918. Die Evidenzführung war seit 1868 dezentralisiert, so dass beim Zusammenbruch der Monarchie die entsprechenden Unterlagen in den Ländern beziehungsweise in den Nachfolgestaaten zurückblieben:

Das Kriegsarchiv verfügt leider über kein Gesamtnamensverzeichnis aller Soldaten des k. k./k. u. k. Heeres, in dem einfach nach dem gesuchten Namen nachgeschlagen werden kann. Lediglich bei Offizieren und höheren Beamten kann man die jahrgangsweise publizierten Militär-Schematismen heranziehen, die ab 1819 ein alphabetisches Namensverzeichnis beinhalten.

Sie benötigen für genealogische beziehungsweise biographische Forschungen im Kriegsarchiv Grunddaten, wie Familienname, Vorname und Geburtsjahr, Geburtsort und/oder Heimatort (zumindest aber Heimatbezirk beziehungsweise nach 1868/69 Kronland - Beschreibung zu Kronländern weiter unten) sowie von 1740-1869 die Kenntnis des Truppenkörpers (des Regiments).

Die in unserem Archiv verwahrten Personalakten sind großteils nicht alphabetisch, sondern nach Kronländern geordnet oder nach Truppenkörpern (Regimentern) abgelegt, die sich aus diesen Kronländern ergänzten.

Eine weitere Voraussetzung für einschlägige Forschungen bildet die Kenntnis der deutschen Sprache sowie der deutschen Kurrentschrift, die die allgemeine Verkehrsschrift im gesamten deutschen Sprachraum bis in die Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts war.

Im Folgenden finden Sie eine Übersicht, welche Bestände für Forschungen in den jeweiligen Zeitabschnitten herangezogen werden können, abschließend weitere Informationen und Links zur Personenforschung im Kriegsarchiv, die laufend ergänzt werden.

Es gab in der Habsburgermonarchie vor 1869 keine allgemeine Wehrpflicht - weite Schichten der Bevölkerung waren vom Wehrdienst befreit (unter anderem auch die Besitzer von größeren Landwirtschaften).

Die Habsburger Monarchie (Österreich-Ungarn) umfasste während der letzten Jahre ihres Bestehens folgende Kronländer:
Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Salzburg, Tirol, Vorarlberg, Steiermark, Kärnten, Krain, Görz, Gradiska, Küstenland (Istrien), Dalmatien, Lombardei, Venetien, Böhmen, Mähren, Schlesien, Galizien, die Bukowina, Ungarn [inklusive dem heutigen Burgenland und der heutigen Slowakei], Siebenbürgen, Kroatien und Slawonien sowie Bosnien-Herzegowina.

Diese Kronländer lagen auf den Territorien folgender heutiger Staaten:
Republik Österreich, Republik Slowenien, Republik Kroatien, Italien, Tschechische Republik, Slowakische Republik, Republik Polen, Republik Ukraine, Rumänien, Ungarn sowie Bosnien-Herzegowina.

Vor 1740

Für die Zeit vor 1740 bilden die Archive der Zentralbehörden (Hofkriegsrat) hier die einzige Forschungsmöglichkeit. Die Erfolgsaussichten bei der Suche nach einfachen Soldaten sind jedoch denkbar gering.

1740-1820

Die ältesten Personalevidenzen der k. k. Armee sind die Musterlisten und Standestabellen (= Monatstabellen, Assent- und Transferierungslisten) von zirka 1740 bis 1820.

Die Musterlisten sind nach Regimentern (Truppenkörpern) abgelegt und innerhalb eines Regiments nach Jahren (Halbjahren) geordnet, innerhalb der Jahre (Halbjahre) nach Unterabteilungen (Kompanien, Eskadronen etc.) in eigenen Heften abgelegt und innerhalb dieser nach dem militärischen Rang geordnet.

Lediglich bei der Suche nach Offizieren können Karteien und Namenslisten zu Hilfe genommen werden. Da der Bestand Musterlisten zum Teil sehr lückenhaft erhalten geblieben ist, sind auch diese Behelfe unvollständig.

Sollte Ihnen der Truppenkörper (das Regiment) nicht bekannt sein, können Sie versuchen, den Truppenkörper (das Regiment) anhand folgender Tabelle herauszufinden: Übersichtstabelle der Werb- (Ergänzungs-) Bezirks-Einteilung 1781-1889 (JPG 1350 kB) (aus: Wrede, Geschichte der k. und k. Wehrmacht, Band 1)

Musterlisten bieten keinen kompletten Lebenslauf und enthalten keine näheren Angaben zur Familie.

Eine genaue Beschreibung zum Bestand Musterlisten können Sie unserem Archivinformationssystem (AIS) entnehmen (Kriegsarchiv - Personalunterlagen)

1820-1869

Die ab 1820 bis 1869 geführten Grundbuchsblätter, die Auskunft über die Militärdienstzeit geben (also auch Veränderungen während der Militärdienstzeit, wie Heirat/Kinder), sind nach Truppenkörpern abgelegt. Die Grundbuchsblätter sind nach Heft-Nummern und Seiten geordnet, die den jeweils zugehörigen Namensindexbänden zu entnehmen sind.

Demnach sind zuerst die Namensindexbände heranzuziehen und nach Auffinden des gesuchten Namens wäre das entsprechende Heft zu bestellen, welches neben dem Namen ausgewiesen ist (Heftseite notieren!). Eine genaue Anleitung zur Suche in diesem Bestand finden Sie hier in der Militärischen Grundbuchsevidenz (GB) 1820-1869.

At the turn of the century, the image of the Statue of Liberty lured people in their hundreds of thousands across the ocean. It was the beginning of an emigration wave from Galicia, the poorhouse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which gradually became a mass migration. Peasants, craftsmen, travelling salesmen, maverick Jewish thinkers - they all came looking for a better future in the firm belief that the Emperor of America would welcome them with open arms. From this hope, a lucrative business soon developed, with many profiteers: agents, officials, the police, American businesses and, last but not least, the big shipping companies - such as the Hamburg America Line (Hapag).

Martin Pollack vividly describes the great flight through the stories of the cobbler Mendel Beck, the agent Julius Löwenberg, and powerful ship owner Alfred Ballin, amongst others. He tells of the eternal losers looking for a better life as well as the constant winners who cashed in on the misfortunes of others.

As an extended service GenTeam provides as of now an overall search to help researchers especially when looking for (uncommon) names. Valid search terms are lastname and firstname, a ll available databases will be searched (with the exception of the Gazetteer).

Gazetteer of Austrian, Czech, Slovak and Slovenian Republic

In this database you will find about 76.000 locations in Austria (with South Tirol) and in the Czech, Slovak and Slovenian republics. It contains former and present names of locations, current and former parish affiliation, year that existing records begin, archival districts, and political districts or crownland.

If you are uncertain about the correct spelling of a location, you may also search for a portion of its name. This will produce a larger number of results, and also to the correct village.

For example: Langendorf

"Is" will generate 9 hits in the database

"Starts with" will generate 11 , also ie Langendörflas

"Contains" will generate 19 results, also ie Neu Langendorf or Unter Langendorf

Members of different lodges

This register of about 16.500 Members of different lodges between 1783 and 1938 is only a start to store important biographical information. Below, you will find a listing of the different lodges. Additional listings are in preparation.

Index of the Roman Catholic Baptisms for Vienna and its surroundings between 1585 and 1918

Beginning of the project: October 2012

In the 19 th century approximately 3,5 million people from all the countries of the Habsburg Monarchy (and beyond) moved to Vienna. In 1910 Vienna's population was approximately 2.1 million. Vienna was then the sixth largest city in the world. Almost all families in the monarchy had family connections to the city of Vienna.

Between 1784 and 1900 approximately 4-6 million children were born in Vienna. Unfortunately, to date there still is no central birth registry for Vienna besides the Jewish Birth Registry already published on www.GenTeam.eu.

In cooperation with Vienna parish offices, we have now begun to create this missing index and post it online. We will favor the Districts 1 - 9 for the years 1784 - 1900, even though parallel parish registers were started in other districts. Also, additional issues of various parishes are already work in progress. We review the existing indices; subsequently they will be rearranged on transparencies, compared with the original entries and then corrected as needed. Thus, the quality of the index will be assured. At this time are approximately 2,05 million entries available.

The following individuals have collaborated in this project:

Mag. Wolfgang Altfahrt, Martina Ecker, Felix Gundacker, Helga Hörmann, Gabi Koller, Eva Korbl, Monika Kornberger, Elisabeth Kultscher, Georg Kummerfeldt, Cindy Lindau, Thomas Lobner, Georg Marlovits, Alexander Masak, Daniela Mathuber, Leo Mayer, Lisi Maxa, Marta Melchart, Leo Mittringer, Suzanne Morris, Dr. Günter Oppitz, Angelika Panser, Marco Puhr, Andrea Reiter, Ernst Schroth, Gerda Smodej, Jesko Stampa, Judith Starke, HR DI Leopold Strenn, Wolfgang Strnad, Wolfgang Sturm, Heidi Sugden, Margarethe Tetzl, Walter Thurner, Mireille Trauner, Margit Urbanek, Christine Weiß und Werner Zinser.

The parish registers will be available online in the near future; some are free of charge already partially accessible at www.matricula-online.eu. Thus, the researcher has relatively quick access to the original entries, even though here and there might be multiple entries.

I invite you all to help with this fascinating project. Neither travel nor visits to parish offices are required; the indices can be furnished in digital form. There are only a few typed indices, fewer beautifully hand-written and some not so beautiful hand-written indices available; however, I am sure, there will be something for everybody who is interested in helping.

Indices of Protestant Records in Vienna

Since 1783, two different Protestant Parishes exist in Vienna: AC and HC. As a first step indices of marriages of the parish AB between 1783 and 1860 are available now. These records are not on microfilm or digital, but only available in the parish office.

Converts in Vienna

Between 1782 and 1868 more than 3000 Jews converted in Vienna. Together with the baptized jewish foundlings 6000, up to 1914 more than 18000 left Judaism, mostly poor people, later, in the second half of the 19th century mostly better educated, belonging to the middle class and grande bourgeoisie, also many intellectuals, artists, musicians and writers.

The spelling of surnames were transcribed literally (or) to the letter from original documents.

The spelling of names of cities and townships were proved for correctness and listed in the current spelling.
When only one number per year is given (for example „1855"), it indicates most of the time back-counted year; thus, not an exact year was given.
When a year is enclosed in parenthesis (), it stands for the year of reference.

Obituaries in the "Neue Freie Presse", Vienna 1864-1938

The Austrian National Library scanned some of the Viennese daily newspapers which can be viewed via internet at: http://anno.onb.ac.at/
Mrs. Traude Triebel and DI Georg Gaugusch have now created a database of all obituaries of the "Neue Freie Presse", Vienna between 1864 and 1938, which can be found by direct link to the issue of the newspaper. The "Neue Freie Presse" is a Viennese newspaper, but obituaries came from many families living in the cities of the crownlands.

Obituaries in Tyrolian Newspapers 1815-1919

This database was created by Hans-Peter Haberditz. Most of the obituaries can be found in digital Newspaers of the sites of the Austrian National Library and the Tessmann-Library.

Current obituaries of the following newspares are listed below:

Memorial Cards of Soldiers from both World Wars

Memorial cards have been submitted by Mireille Trauner (email: familienforschung[at]chello.at). More cards will be added in the near future.

The database contains 12.738 records of soldiers who died in both World Wars, in addition to some civilians. Along with their personal information, you will find photographs of the deceased soldiers.

In the directory „

The complete database was created by Mrs. Mireille Trauner.

Biographical Lexikon Of Austria´s Empire By Dr. Constant von Wurzbach

Between 1856 through 1891 Dr. Constant von Wurzbach produced a biographical lexicon of Austria´s Empire. In 60 volumes and more than 26.000 entries, the lives of memorable persons, who as of 1750 were born, lived, and worked in the Austrian crownlands are mentioned.

All volumes can be seen on page "alo, Austrian Literature Online" under the following link: http://www.literature.at

This database has been produced in its entirety by Mrs. Mireille Trauner.

The Civil marriages in Graz and Salzburg between 1870 and 1912

Since 1870, the civil marriage was possible because of the Reichsgesetzblatt number 49 dated May 25th, 1868 and was valid untill August 1st, 1938. Due to the fact, that § 64 of the AGBG 1811 was still active, a Christian part had first to leave the church, whereas a possible Jewish part only needed a marriage refusal of the Rabbi.

These marriages have been recorded in own Vital Statistics; in Vienna, duplicates are stored in the Viennese City Archives. In Graz, they are stored at the "Amtshaus Bürgerservice", in Salzburg at the registry office. Univ. Doz. Dr. Anna Lea Staudacher of the Austrian Acadamy of Sciences (ÖAW) has now stored all marriages between 1870 and 1912. My special thanks go to the Heraldic and Genealogical Society "Adler", Vienna. Further information about this project can be found in the journal of the "Adler" 26. Band, Heft 8 (October-December 2012).

Developing database of the

Registers of the Bishopric (Diocese) Passau

This database does not yet contain the entire registers (indices) for all the parishes in the Roman Catholic dioceses Passau, Germany. Current registers vary from parish to parish; the earliest registers begin in 1580 all the way up to the various designated times of personal data protection laws.

At this point, the current database covers these parts of the Dioceses:

- Marriages: all parishes
- Baptisms: by any means not complete; completed are a broad area north of the Inn River, mostly the corner between the Inn River and Danube, almost all of the city of Passau, parts of the lower Bavarian Forest, and an area upwards the Danube
- Death: more in the beginning stages; covered are parts of the Rottal, an area between the Inn River and the Danube, almost everything of the city of Passau, and an area upwards the Danube

Basically the databases cover the following information:

Parish

Volumes (or sub volumes) and pages

Code

1 = Baptisms

2 = Marriages, grooms

3 = Marriages, brides

4 = Burials

Surnames

Given Name(s)

Profession (please note, not in all cases profession is listed)

Address including towns (please note, not in all cases address is given)

Date including the year

The field "Detail", used for retrievable data, shows the entire data set, including the technical data internally necessary.

The specification of volume number is often still based on the opening up to the register and do not contain, in such cases, a sub volume number. In these cases, the volume number is given according to the descriptive inventory of the parish books of the parishes of the dioceses Passau. The volume numbers are listed under "Lists of Volumes of the Parish..." on the Passau Website at www.matricula-online.eu according to types of sacraments and duration of sub volume number allowing it to expand as well as to identify and search for a specific page.

At this time, more than 4,3 million entries are contained in these data bases, including:

2,059,150 Entries from baptismal registries
407,557 Entries for grooms from marriage registries, (completed)
365,169 Entries for brides from marriage registries
1,468,160 Entries from burial registries

List of Online-Indices:

Die Friedhofsdatenbank Innsbruck

Die Innsbrucker jüdischen Friedhöfe gehören zu den am besten erforschten Friedhöfen Österreichs.

Für besonders Interessierte wird die Publikation im Haymon Verlag empfohlen, in der keine Frage offen bleibt.

Thomas Albrich: Judenbichl. Die jüdischen Friedhöfe in Innsbruck

http://www.haymonverlag.at/page.cfm?vpath=buecher/buch&titnr=637

Am Ende dieser Publikation steht eine Liste mit allen bekannten Begräbnissen in Innsbruck. Sie wurde von Martin Achrainer auf Basis der vorhandenen Begräbnisbücher und älterer Quellen zusammengestellt und bildet die Grundlage der auf genteam.at durchsuchbaren gut 400 Bestattungen.

Eine Besonderheit des Innsbrucker jüdischen Friedhofs ist, dass viele Personen umgebettet wurden - und das bis zu drei Mal. Darüber hinaus ist der Friedhof mehrfach zerstört wurden.

Zu guter letzt wurde die Fläche des Friedhofs 1979/80 auf die Hälfte verkleinert (heute unvorstellbar aber wahr). Das heißt unter anderem, dass für relativ wenige Bestattete noch Gräber zu finden sind. Viele sind nur mehr auf dem "Erinnerungsgrab", einer Metalltafel, gelistet. Vor einem Besuch in Innsbruck empfiehlt es sich jedenfalls, nachzufragen, ob man das gesuchte Grab auch im heutigen Friedhof noch finden kann.

Vor dem Jahr 1867 wurden die Juden außerhalb der Stadt auf einem heute noch als "Judenbichl" bekannten Hügel bestattet. Auch aus dieser Zeit konnten wir einige Bestattungen belegen.

Für Fragen zu den Biographien der Bestatteten ist vom Jüdischen Museum Hohenems die Forschungsdatenbank des Instituts für Zeitgeschichte der Universität Innsbruck online gestellt worden, die "work in progress" ist und über diese Gruppe weit hinausgeht. Allen jüdischen Familienforschern für Tirol, Vorarlberg und Südtirol wärmstens ans Herz gelegt.

About this collection
This collection contains parish registers from numerous Catholic communities in Vienna, Austria and from the wine regions north of Vienna and industrial areas to the south. It covers the years from 1600 up to and including 1960. Vienna is located on the Danube river and is Austria's capital and most the most populous city. The first traces of settlement there date back to the Stone Age. The city was first mentioned in the Middle Ages in documents dating to the year 881. The history of Vienna was long shaped by the Habsburg monarchy, serving heads of state as the imperial capital and residence for many years.

The oldest church records in this collection date from the 17th century. Some registers date to, or just before, the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The majority are from the 18th and 19th centuries. These parish records primarily contain information about births and baptisms, marriages, and deaths and burials. The time periods covered by individual records sets vary.
What you can find in the records
In early Church registers, the records are largely written in Latin. Later records were kept in German. Depending on the time period and on the individual formulations used, you may generally find the following details in these records:

For Births:

Child: Given Names, Birthdate, Baptism, Witnesses

Parents: Given Names, Mother's Maiden Name, Parents' residence

For Marriages:

Groom: Given Names, Last Name, Residence/Birthplace, Age, Parents' Details

Bride: Given Names, Last Name, Maiden Name, Residence/Birthplace, Age, Parents' Details and Marriage Place and Date

I am looking for assistance in researching ancestors who lived in the Fraxen (Rankweil) area.  The name was Severin Bischof, born in 1768 and supposedly he was born in Fraxen or in the immediate area.  He became very prosperous through marriage and took over his father-in-law's papermill in Volkertshausen,Baden.  His professional life was well documented. He later moved to Laibach, Ljubjana wher he operated nother papermill and died in Mavenfeld in 1847.  His father, supposedly was a shepherd in Fraxen and educated by the parish priest.Through Ancestry I corresponded with a woman who said that the Fraxen shepherds were originally from Switzerland and were moved there in order to work the fields and herds in Voralberg.I would be very grateful for any help.  I corresponded with the parish in Rankweil but no info was found on the Bischof Family.
