Hello John,

please send my a scan of your document. I will try
my best.
I think Austria is not the correct name of country,
it is more Austria-Hungary because the village name
looks Hungarian to me.
If you look at the Donauschwaben Village List at
http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/ESE/ds_idx.htm
there are some villages ending with szentivan
like Bacsszentivan or Sajkasszentivan.
But I think your village may be Ujszentivan
that's 10km south of Szeged.

Greetings from Vienna, Austria
Peter
