bullet Banatsko Veliko Selo, Yugoslavia (Official) "name means "the big village in Banat"  A village in the Kikinda municipality, in the North Banat District of the Republic of Serbia. It is situated in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.
bullet Following Ottoman rule, there were no proper settlements in the present location of the village. Following an order by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria on November 25, 1763, the right to settle this area was given exclusively to Roman Catholics. In 1770 and 1771, this area was settled by French settlers from the Lorraine region and by southwestern German settlers, the southwestern German settlers later becoming known as the Banat Swabians. They founded three villages—Sankt Hubert, Charleville and Seultour. In the course of the late 18th century, these settlements changed hands several times. Over time, the French settlers were assimilated into the German population. After World War II, the Germans fled to Germany and Serb families from Bosnia came to the settlements. One larger village named Veliko Selo was formed out of the three existing German villages. In 1948, its name was changed to Banatsko Veliko Selo. The names of the former German villages are today used as names for districts within the larger village.

Finding Vital 1796-1945 Data Regarding German and Hungarian Ancestors of Banat(ska) Topola and Novo Selo, Plus an Exposé About the Local 1945-1946 Internment Camp
for Germans of Serbia;
 By Jacob Steigerwald - The publication should also be of particular interest to descendants of Danube Swabians who have been wondering about actual procedures that Tito?s partisans employed in wiping out the ethnic group. In a variety of ways, my account also has relevance regarding criminal actions against indigenous Germans elsewhere in the country, from 1944 until 1948. [16 Nov 2009]
