Church Records

Mercydorf Church Records -
Your help is needed...
Familienbuch Vol. I.
1735-1832/43 - coming soon!Now is
the time for
all
Mercydorf
and Banat
researchers
to respond
to a call
for
assistance (or
any other
interested
parties).
The
AKdFF
researchers
in
Germany
have
obtained
copies
of the
Mercydorf
KBs
(church
records) covering
the
years
1832-1897 from
the
Romanian
Archives;
and expect
to
publish
the
Mercydorf
Familienbuch
Vol I.
1735-1832/43
by Edgar
Aldag sometime in 2007.
The
AVBF
fronted
the
money to
obtain
the
Mercydorf
church
records.
Richard Jäger, President of the AKdFF, is asking us to assist with the
fund raising to reimburse the AVBF. As the Mercydorf Coordinator, I am
more than happy to promote this campaign. It's not easy to obtain
records from Romania and it is costly. The village of Mercydorf was one
of the first Banat Villages and a first home for many Banaters upon
their arrival to Hungary.
I am appealing to all Mercydorf and Banat
researchers (or anyone) to make a donation of any amount that you
are comfortable with. Please contact me (in private if you prefer)
and I will provide the details. I am hoping we North Americans can
raise a sizable sum as an act of goodwill towards our fellow
researchers in Germany, who are doing this for us.
Donations will be transmitted to Germany via a
special account set up by Dave Dreyer for transferring funds to the AVBF
for their family books; avoiding the hefty bank transfer fees. The
request for donations is strictly for ***recovering the cost of the
church records*** this does not accrue toward book orders.
For future reference: The publication costs of the Mercydorf
Familienbuch Vol I. 1735-1832/43 (which is now in manuscript form) will
be covered by the AKdFF and will be recovered when the books are sold. I can hardly wait!
Thank you
all, I appreciate any support in this matter.

The donation
drive for the
Mercydorf
records was a
success,
collecting
$1460!
This outstanding
achievement was
a cooperative
effort among
North American
Donauschwaben:
members of the
DVHH-L,
Mercydorf
researcher
private
mail-list and
Banat-L. The
Mercydorf HOG
association has
been actively
raising funds
towards these
efforts also.
Together, I
think we've
accomplished the
goal needed to
obtain the
church records.
I'd especially
like to thank
Dave Dreyer for
his role in
collecting the
funds.
