"Donauschwaben Villa Ballester"  YouTube Video - Villa Ballesger, is in Argentina, South America. My guess is, these Donauschwaben settled in Argentina, after 1945, if  they immigrated to Argentina in 1920's hats off to the Donauschwaben in Argentina, because they still carry their heritage, and speak their own language. You might recognize some of your  relatives? The video is 6;42" long. Close to tend of the video, you will notice, the band is a bit out of tune, and the Donauschwaben are shouting, - POLKA, - POLKA- POLKA . . . Of course the Donauschwaben, are known for the Polka.

I'm seeking information on my father's family, his name was Joan Rauth b.  25 Aug 1907 in Timisoara, nationality German, place of residence: number 1, IV Street, Fratelia, District of Timis.  His Mother was Jozefa Pinkils Rauth, father name Jozsef Rauth.  Married Isabela Keles and they came to Argentina in 1928.  I only know of one sister remaining in Timisoara.  My father died in 1962 in Buenos Aires. I've been living in Australia since 1982.
