Franz Schneider
1926-2012
Author of the
Two-Volume Deutschbentschek
Family Book
|
|
|
|
Franz Schneider earned his
living as a teacher, but he also
dedicated a huge part of
his life to gathering and
compiling information for the Deutschbentschek
family book.
Born in Deutschbentschek in 1926
and educated there and in
Temeschburg and Bukarest, Mr.
Schneider was a teacher in the Banat
from 1949 until his family
relocated to West Germany in
1977. He then taught
school near their new home in
Düsseldorf until his retirement
in 1989.
Mr. Schneider completed Volume I
(1793-1852) of the
Deutschbentschek family book in
2003 and, for another eight
years, continued his work with
Volume II (1852-2011).
After he passed away in 2012,
his
family—especially his nephew Amin Müller—and HOG
Deutschbentschek finished Volume II
and published it in 2013.

|
Deutschbentschekers and their
descendants will be forever
grateful to Lehrer Franz Schneider
for the invaluable resource
he created. |

Looking for photos taken by
Stefan Schicht to add to the
Stefan Schicht
Photo Gallery.
Sometimes Stefan Schicht dated
his photos on the front and
added
"S.S." after the date.
Other photos have no notes on
the front, but include a
description and signature on
back.
Thank you for any contributions!

I sent you an old photo that was in my
parents' album. My sister
said that in this photo are persons from
Amerika. Maybe they are Deutschbentschek
relatives from my mother: Kuhn or Kolling.
Maybe
you can help?
Greetings,

Request: added January 2009
Contact: Christian Andor
Note: Josef
Andor & Marianna Andor were married in
Deutschbentschek in 1913.
 I am sending you some
very old photos which I have from Bentschek.
[Among them is a possible] wedding
picture of
Josef and Marianna, but I am not certain about this.
The two people in the middle are probably
the witnesses. You are welcome to release
these photos on the Bentschek site. Maybe
someone can confirm my assumption and
clarify who the two people in the middle
are?!?!
Thanks and best regards from
Christian

Terry
Lenhardt
My grandfather, Heinrich KOLLING, was born
in Deutsch Bentschek in 1894. He had an
older brother Johann born in 1890 and a
younger sister Anna born in 1897. The
parents of Heinrich, Johann,
and Anna—Johann KOLLING and Elisabeth HANDL—died
the
year Anna was born. Heinrich took the
surname LENHARDT and
emigrated to the USA in 1910. He listed
Johann with surname FASZL as his next-of-kin
in Tschakowa at that time; Johann evidently
married Eleanora WILFLING in
Deutschbentschek. Their sister Anna took
the surname PALIA (spelling?) and is later
listed as marrying Imre JOSZT or Josef
EMMERICH in 1913,
possibly in Bethausen. I'm guessing that
all three of those siblings were adopted by
the respective families.
My grandfather
Heinrich was reported to have said that his
sister emigrated to the USA, possibly with a
son. I have been unable to find anything to
confirm that, but would be grateful for any
information on Anna, Johann, or any of their
offspring.
Thanks for any
information the group might come across!

Bindschedler
Note: There were several Bindschedler
families living in Deutschbentschek.
Good Morning!
For many years
I'm researching the "Bindschedler" family
and their variations. It seems their origin
was Switzerland. At the end of the 17th
century some family members emigrated first
to Germany and later during the 18th century
to the Banat and after World War 1 and World War 2 to the United States and Canada.
All
informations about this families are highly
appreciated. It would be nice to share my
results with you. Greetings from
Switzerland.
