Joe;
When the Giseladorf "Familienbuch" was published I gave up the Giseladorf part of the project and just concentrated on Josefsdorf. I think the Giseladorf book itself is out of print but it is still available on a CD from Mathias Egler(See Giseladorf website).
It really should not be called a family book and is one of the poorest Banat family books both in in content and format. The Giseladorf HOG now recognizes these shortcomings and has now commissioned a new rewriting of the book. This will be done by Josef Michels who is in the early stages of the rewrite. There is a recently published family book for Neubeschenowa, by Maria Friedrich and Hans Grimm(order from ), which is also available in CD from Hans Grimm (). The Hatzfeld family book only goes to 1866 and is out-of-print but probably available on CD.

The above data is all that can be squeezed out of the Giseladorf family book on these people. This illustrates the limitations of the Giseladorf family book because the data is so sketchy.
Since I have the Neubeschenowa family book right in front of me I find;
Lang Josef, son of Jakob Lang and Magdalena Albert
*13 Nov 1860 Neubeschenowa
oo23 Jan 1883
Wagner Katharina, dau of Johann Wagner and Katharina Reinert
*15 Jun 1859
Barbara *5 Feb 1884

This is really a bummer. This is the first entry I have looked up in the newly published and acquired Neubeschenowa family book and now find that the authors have not recognized that Barbara Lang was married in Giseladorf.
There were a mob of Werschings in Giseladorf and they came from a remarkably large number of places in the Banat.

>From the Hatzfeld family book I find;
Feitz Franz, son of Nikolaus Feitz and Anna Hausladen
*28 Sep 1853 HN 440

>From Toni Kraemers Perjamosch family book
Gillich Nikolaus son of Konrad Gillich and Katharina Pezmer
*19 Jan 1863 Perjamosch
oo 10 Jun 1888 Perjamosch
Hens Katharina, dau of Josef Hens and Anna Husz
*29 Mar 1873 Perjamosch
Eva *9 Dec 1892

Actually Eva was married 8 Jan 1911 in Josefsdorf to Nikolaus Feitz.
