The Schnitzlers |
Paula Schleis has finished a 15-year project: The Schnitzler Family Tree. The books chart the Schnitzlers of Karavukova (Austro-Hungary) for a 200-year-period, including the movement of many families to the Ohio area. More than 100 family members are pictured; more than 1,000 are named. The 130-page books are $18 (that includes the mailing cost in the United States). Email Paula to make arrangements for getting your own copy!
Josef Schnitzler, the oldest-known relative, was likely born sometime between 1760 and 1780. His parents and birthplace are unknown. Josef married Anna Hoch and the couple lived at least part of their lives in Gajdobra (present-day Yugoslavia.)Only one of their children is known: Johann Schnitzler was born to Josef and Anna about 1803. Johann married Theresia Frank on October 29, 1803. Theresia was born about 1805 to Michael Frank and Magdalena Fellinger, residents of Karavukova (present-day Yugoslavia). The couple had five known children, and their descendents resided in Karavukova for the next 125 years. Johann died at the age of 41 on March 12, 1844. Theresia did not remarry, and died on April 3, 1857 at the age of 52.
