offered. I took Spanish, from a very good teacher (she had been

Thanks to you all I have found my Reitmann and Manz family records in
Apatin, Yugoslavia/Serbia. They lived in this area from 1760-1935. I noticed
many infant and child deaths in the records. Can anyone tell me if there
were deseases at that time or just a high infant mortality rate ? I would
love to here any information on the history of the times in that area for
the dates mentioned. I understand that Apatin was a town of around 13,000
people and my extended family may have accounted to a fair share of th
Dear Listers
While we're on this language subject I thought I add another two cents worth.
During the midst of packing to move cross-country this year, I ran across a
notebook titled "Grandmo's Letters." It turned out to be a notebook in which
my greatgrandmother practiced writing the alphabet in English and words.
It's very fragile now but highly valued by me. My aunt had kept it all these
years. I also have fotos from Stark Co. ND taken in the early 1900's without
any names on them. I'm in the

Hi Cathy,
Yes, spouse is what it will be, that's a given--I am starting the design of
software and will make it available FREE to anyone who wants it.
I am asking for ideas on what other data fields researchers are interested
in.
We will try to keep the software simple and easy to use, but we need those
interested to tell us what kinds of information they want included in this
database.

Does anyone know where most of the first settlers of Stefansfeld came from?
I believe Stefansfeld was first settled in 1797. Unfortunately the early
church records do not say where the people came from. I am wondering if it
says in any of the Stefansfeld history books? I have been trying to get my
hands on one for quite some time.

Hello all,
After months of banging my head against a brick wall I think I have had a breakthrough.
My computer crashed the other day (AGAIN) and I lost all my addresses. Dennis Bauer was kind enough to look up some info in the Fillipowa and Weprowatz books for me some time ago. If Dennis or anyone else has some time, could you please look up the BAUMGARTNERS in this area?

To rooters, Awhile ago I told Dave I would write up the interview of my

had always possessed a remarkable memory so the answers to her question
can be considered accurate. She has since expired though her words linger
on.

many different distinct local regions spoke different dialects. For example,
my paternal grandparents were from Mramorak. Their dialect, today, is
referred to by German descendants as "Mramorakish". And the
