| hamer07: Re: Rak family | This is what I know of my family.
Andres Josef Rak married Kathrine ? .
They had Elizabeth Rack 1860-1942.
Elizabeth married Anton Hammer.
In 1900 they had a son Anton Hammer.
He married Ana Wellenberger.
Wellenbergers: Jacob Wellenberger (Born:? 1886-1949 died:Udenberg Austria) married Maria Reis (Erdevik Serbia 1884-1961 Germany), and they had Ana Wellenberger (Lacarak 1906-2004 Sydney Australia), then Valentine (passed away in Germany), Stefan (Germany), Maria (Magdelana), Fransz, and Elizabeth(who passed away in the U.S.A. in 2007).
Of my family, Ana Wellenberger married Anton Hammer (Laracark 1900-1931 Lacarak)
they had Michael (Lacarak 1929-1983 Wollongong Australia) and Anton (my father) (Lacarak 1931- ) who both came to Australia. My father remambers Lacarak and the family, and we are still writing it all down.
Why Australia? In 1944 during WWII, Donau Schwabien Germans were no longer welcome in Serbia, some of the Hammer family fled to Germany, some to Austria on one of the last trains out of Yugoslavia, and those that stayed in October 1944 perished. Russians came through supporting the new Serbian regime reclaiming land.
My family were refugees in Austria until 1950, the Hammer family (now Hamer) came to Australia as refugees via Italy. The waiting list to get to the US was too long.
Let me know how I can contact you and I can give you more details. Cheers Anton |
