Genealogical research in Temeswar/Temesvar/Temeschburg is very difficult,
because the town had 6 quarters (what I call suburbs)
Fabrikstadt,
Elisabetstadt,
Josefstadt,
Franzstadt,
Fratelia,
Freidorf;
and each quarter had their own Roman Catholic parish. And keep in mind, in 1900
there were nearly 60,000 inhabitants. With Temeschburg being the largest town
in Banat, it was like a metropolitan city for transitional residents.
Although there were many families who were rooted there for over a hundred
years, there were also many people moving around each year. To give
you an idea how difficult it is to research in the Temeswar area, consider the
information I received last week.....
The Church Book of
Fratelia is beginning about 1932, the entries before then were made in Elisabethin /
Elisabetstadt,
there they started in 1919, and the years before 1919, the habitants of Fratelia had
to go to Freidorf, but a lot of them didn't want to because the way was longer to
travel than to go to Josefin. The informant goes on to say, "That was perhaps
the reason, why I now found the birth of my grandmother and her siblings in Josefin
/
Josefstadt (from 1895
to 1905), although the birth certificate said, they lived in Tesöld (Fratelia).
But with this new knowledge I luckily found the baptism of my father (born in 1917
in Fratelia) in Freidorf!
I also was searching for a very long
time to find the death record of my grandmother and found her in the index of
Freidorf!"
