Hello all, I am a new member here. After retiring last year I decided it was time to go through the 38 paper copies of paternal vital records handed down to me, and begin working on our family history. These records are certified copies of birth/baptisms, marriages and deaths between 1826-1929, obtained by my grandfather in the 1930s and 40s. There are a number of records that he was not able to obtain.
In a short period of time I’ve pieced together a family tree going back much further in time than I had expected, and with sourcing of records I am 95% confident with the paternal line after about 1700, with not fully confirmed hints going back much further. I have birth and death records for all Klugs from that period forward, except for János Klug.
In the summer months of 1784, János Klug’s grandfather Petrus Adamus Klug and his wife Margaretha Riod resettled to the Banat in Lovrin after their Danube boat journey from the Weselberg/Hermersberg area of Rhineland-Palatinate. They stopped to register in Vienna on June 25th and arrived in Csatad (Lenauheim) on July 20, 1784. I believe by October they were settled in a house in Lovrin. Petrus Adamus died in Lovrin in 1800. Interestingly Margaretha survived until 1835.
Their son Ádám Klug was born in Lovrin in 1788, married Anna Mária Krim (or Grim) in 1811, and he died there in 1832, so János was only 2 years old when his father died. I do not have a death record for Anna Mária. János was born in Lovrin 7 January 1830 and married Borbála Koreck on 18 May 1858 in nearby Sándorháza. János was a butcher (mészaros) by trade. His son János, also a butcher, was born in 1858 and was married and living in Budapest by 1889, so it’s quite possible that his father moved there as well (a father and son butcher shop?).
I have searched everywhere I can for a death record for my g-grandfather. I am hoping it exists somewhere in an unindexed church or civil records book. Any help finding this record would be greatly appreciated!
