...Pospischil

Posted by: Katharine Samuelson on March 13, 2002 - Pospischil - Heckli - Baron

Name 1: Pospischil Franz
Name 2: Heckli Josef
Location: Lovas, Putinci

My family lived in Lovas (from about 1880 to 1940) S.E.of Vukovar. My father Johann born in Putinci,was the son of Franz Pospischil. Whom did he marry? Where did he come from?

Josef Heckli married Magdalena Stutz. Children:- Anna, Jacob & Barbara (my mother) Magdalena's parents were Christian & Anna (Baron) Stutz.

Again where did they come from prior to Lovas? Where can I find colonization records? What origins are these names? Any information would be appreciated, thank you.

The names sound Austro-Hungarian - they were probably "Volksdeutsche", many of whom settled in that area way back during the 19th century, or earlier

Sorry to tell you, but your search might be frustrated by the fact that most records in and around Vukovar were destroyed during the last war in Croatia

Stil, it might be worth while to write to the local churches:-

Baptisticka Crkva; 204 Vukovarske brigade 74; Vukovar 32000; Croatia
tel ++385 (032) 441-402

Evandjeoska Crkva; Trg Drvena Pijaca 2; Vukovar 32000; Croatia
tel ++385 (032) 414-767

For records you might find the Ellis Island website most useful
