Proposed Change: Joseph Kilzer (I267395)
Tree: Suedpfalz
Link: http://www.birkenhoerdt.net/getperson.php?personID=I267395&tree=1
Description: Thank you for the excellent work done on The Birkenhördt
Project! As the grandson of Joseph and Beata Schnell (F92622) and the son
of Bernard A. Kilzer (Personal Id I267407), I offer the following
suggestions:
Joseph Kilzer (Personal Id I1267395) was born on 9/23/1875 in Deutsch
Bentschek in Banat, which was then part of Hungary. Founded in the 1790s
in the Banat, the village of Deutsch Bentschek, was located 25 kilometers
northeast of Timișoara, Timiș. In 1920, this became part of
Romania. The catastrophic events of World War I, World War II, and the
1945-1949 Soviet deportation of Banater Germans to labor camps in Ukraine,
led to a drastic decline in the German population of Deutsch Bentschek,
which has since been renamed Bencecu de Sus (in Timis, Romania) and is
located 25 km NE of Timișoara, Timiș, Romania. Using a 1875 map,
Joseph Kilzer was born in Deutsch Bentschek, Hungary. Using a 2020 map,
Joseph Kilzer was born in Timiș, Romania.
In 1892, Joseph Kilzer, together with his older brothers Stefan, Peter,
John, Frank, and Joseph, Stefan's wife Margaretha, Peter's wife Katherine,
and others from Deutsch Bentschek emigrated to Richardton, North Dakota,
USA. As émigrés from what was then Hungary, they maintained an identity as
?German-Hungarians? (Germans from Hungary; not Hungarians).
On July 6, 1903, Joseph Kilzer married Beata Schnell (Personal Id
I123519). Joseph Kilzer died in North Dakota on December 16, 1960.
