LÁSZLÓ RUDOLF
Those of you on email should have previously received my message that László had a stroke late in 2005. He had some paralysis in his right arm and some speech impairment, but it sounds like he has recovered pretty well. He is back at home and corresponding by email.
STADER’S SAMMELWERK
All volumes of Stader’s Sammelwerk which were out of print have now been reprinted and are available from the AKdFF. The next issue of the series, starting with Sch should be available in 2006.
ZICHYDORF FAMILY TREES
The “Familienbuch der katholischen Pfarrgemeinde Zichydorf im Banat 1789-1945” by Helmut Kaiser is available on CD. It covers the period from the beginning of the church books in 1789 until the expulsion of ethnic Germans in 1945, with supplements up to 2002. The book also contains information on those baptized from Georghausen, Alt-Letz, Urmenhausen, and Setschanfeld for about 8,600 families of 31,700 individuals. The book is supplemented with a index of married women whose parents are not known, a village index, foreword of the author, History of Zichydorf by Felix Millecker, statistics and more.
This is not an alphabetical or chronological list, but a grouping of family members. It is a secondary source and, no matter how careful the author, it is possible that errors may have crept in. Nevertheless, this is an excellent source to search for information that should then be verified against the original record.
The family book is in two formats, html and pdf and can be printed out in part or in its entirety. Price is $30 USD including postage. They will be sent from Germany. Contact Dave Dreyer at ddreyer@pacbell.net with your mailing address. Dave will collect the payments and transmit the combined funds to Helmut.

Order from the address at the end of this letter. I have also obtained the records for the town of Kudritz, about 20 miles east of Zichydorf.

GROUP TOUR
When I left on my winter holiday in January, I thought I had secured a tour operator for our trip May 29 to June 17. While I was away, I noticed someone else’s email that said he was doing another trip May 24-30 from Munich. When I queried him, he confirmed this and invited us along, but I told him this would not fit our plans. Since my return, I have been searching for another operator who can accommodate us. I finally have a couple of good leads and hope to conclude something soon.
