Twin of Janos- I also have the baptism

I have a baptismal certificate, and although it is
written in another language, it has been roughly translated. It is for
my husband's grandfather, Janos (John) Schiller. It reads:
1883--December 13 --which we assume to be a birth date
1883--December 16 - which we assume to be a baptism date
The name: Janos, male
Parents' names: Schiller, Miklos, and Them, Margit,
Church: Roman Katholikus - Roman Catholic
Godparents??: Ruppert, Janos and Muller Terezia
Janos was a twin - I also have the baptism
certificate for his twin brother, Miklos (Nickolas).

I have a Birth Certificate

Anna was baptized in Budapest on April 10, 1899. No father is
listed.
I have been told that Miklos
owned an inn, located on a corner lot in Timisoara. It was a lodging house,
with a bar, grocery store and butcher shop, all in one.

Records:
Ellis Island record:
11 Sept 1906 Miklos (Nicholas) Schiller age 54, occupation barkeeper,
traveling with his second wife, Erzbeth (Elisabeth) age 29, and 4 children: Erzbeth
(Elisabeth) age 16, Josef age 13, Terez (Teresia) age 11, and Anna age
8. Ship: Kaiser Wilhelm II, from Bremen, Germany, arriving at the Port of
New York. They were joining son Miklos (Nikolaus ) Schiller, in
Milestone, Saskatchewan - Canada, and had never been to the U.S. before.
I have their homestead records from Saskatchewan, but am trying to trace
information on them, when they lived in Temeswar.
Any help that you can give me regarding these families - either the
Tem/Them, Schiller/Schuller, Muller, or Kovacs family, will be gratefully
received.
