DENNIS BAUER PRESENTS DONAUSCHWABEN HISTORY AT: JUNE 10, 2008 CJGC MEETING Dennis Bauer, VP and Genealogist for the organization Trenton Donauschwaben, presented a comprehensive history of the people known as Donauschwaben or German-Hungarians. During the 1700’s these people, German in origin, were encouraged to move into and farm land along the Danube River, an area that became part of the Hungarian-Austrian Empire. Many in the 1900’s left their homes there and came to the United States where they settled in several different US cities, Trenton being one of them. Because of their migration in Europe, records can be found in many locations – for example, it was expected that men moving to this new area in Europe would be married and thus, single men who started to migrate, found and married women along the way, leaving records of their marriage in places where you might not expect to find them. Sources for various records for The Donauschwaben in the US and Europe were discussed.
