Explanations:
Banater Akten:
In the Finanz und Hofkammerarchiv (HKA) [Finance and Court
Chamber Archive] in Vienna can be found over 1600 pages of documents from
the period 1749-1804 which are designated Banater Akten. They include
the Wiener Listen [Vienna Lists] or Wiener Abfertigungslisten
[Vienna Passenger Lists]. These are consignments of colonists who emigrated
through Hungary, not only into the Banat. The documents list surname, given
name, occupation, place of origin, age, number of childen and destination
and constitute one of the most important sources for Donauschwaben research.
Schlafkreuzerrechnungen:
A small portion of the
Banater Akten are the
Schlafkreuzerrechnungen. Close study reveals that there are 93
individual documents. One document may consist of one or several pages in
which are contained names and house numbers of homeowner-hosts and the names
of settlers in 49 towns in the Banat.
The purpose for writing the SKR was
twofold. The Austrian government who had called the new settlers into the
Banat before their new homes were ready, had the newcomers move in with the
already established settlers. The hosts were paid one "Kreuzer" (a small
denomination of Austrian currency) per person per night for the length of
stay of their guests. Hence the coining of the name "Schlafkreuzerrechnung".
The records vary considerably in content,
but can be helpful to genealogists because they usually contain the name and
housenumber of the host in the particular village, dates of arrival and
departure of the new settlers, number of members in each family, and may
contain ages and occupations, history of births, deaths, marriages, and the
name and housenumber of the new residence of the settlers.

Albrechtsflor, Arad, Beschenova, Billet, Blumenthal, Bogarosch,
