  Giel, Dietmar (2001).  Familienbuch der katholischen Pfarrgemeinde Kleinjetscha im Banat: 1772-2000. Friedrichsdorf: Zentralstelle für Personen- und Familiengeschichte.

762 pages written in German.  Includes details on the families living in Kleinjetscha from approximately 1772-2000 and limited information on the families living in the neighboring village Gertianosch from 1783-1785.

Included for each family are birth, death, & marriage dates and locations; children; godparents & witnesses; and the relationships between families.  Sometimes included are occupations and migration notes.  Though in German, because of the way the book is organized, it is relatively easy for non-German speakers to glean information about their families.

Also included for the village of Kleinjetscha:
 
1800 census - heads of households
1891 census - heads of households
WWI - names of those who died in military service
WWII - names of those who died in military service
Soviet Union deportation - names of those who died
Baragan-Steppe deportation - names of households deported; names of those who died

HOG Kleinjetscha:
Located in Germany, HOG Kleinjetscha is an association of the people who emigrated from Kleinjetscha to various places throughout Germany.

HOG is short for Heimatortsgemeinschaft, which translates roughly as "homeland place community."   Through meetings, newsletters, and other activities, a HOG attempts to keep people from a particular village—and their descendants—connected.  It is not a genealogical society and cannot provide information on ancestors, but it may be able to help locate a living relative who resides in Germany today.
