The
*AKdFF has published a series of books by the late
Stefan Stader entitled: Sammelwerk
donauschwaebischer Kolonisten (Compilation of Data on
Danube Swabian Settlers). Staders' intent was to
compile a list where the
original settlers to Banat and Batschka originally came
from (1740-1830) and mainly from the second and third
wave of colonization.
Six volumes, each arranged alphabetically by family
name, have been published to date:
-
Volume
I [surnames beginning with letters A-D]
(1997)
-
Volume
II [surnames beginning with letters E-G]
(1998)
-
Volume
III [surnames beginning with letters H-Kap] (1999)
-
Volume
IV [surnames beginning with letters Kar-L] (2000)
-
Volume
V [surnames beginning with letters M-O] (2001)
-
Volume
VI [surnames beginning with letters P-Sch] (2003)
Each
volume includes information on the original colonists
from the former German states to Hungary. Sources
include documents in the Hofkammer Archive in Vienna
(Banater Akten, Schlafkreuzerrechnungen et. al) [see:
explanations for these resources below], the Hacker
books, Familienbuecher covering German and Hungarian
villages, Anton-Peter Petri's series of booklets on the
original settlers of Hungarian villages and data from
some Hungarian villages.
