Hi, Kim. I know it's been a few years since your post, but the mention of Katharina Laub caught my eye. I'm trying to find information on my husband's Laubs from the Banat area, not finding much so far, but trying every avenue I can find. My father-in-law, Anton Laub, was born in Orzydorf; his father, Johann Geysa Laub was born in Knez/died in Orzydorf; grandfather, Anton Laub, born in Knez/died in Temesvar; and great-grandfather, Nikolaus died in Hodoni. That's as far as we have gotten. Not much other information. Seems that either no one knew much information or did not want to talk about it. Any of this sound familiar? I know that Katharina was quite a popular female name in the Laub family.
