My name is Klaus Grabler and I am looking for my Mother, we moved to South Africa in 1975 and her name is/was Margit Jankovic....My mother left South Africa in 1995 or round about then and went back home. I lost contact with her and would love to find her again.

Her Name is:- Margit Jankovic (born Schneider) she was formely married to Klaus Otto Grabler. I was born in Hallein on the 14 May 1965.

Please I would really love to find her.

And where was "back home"????

My Mother went back to Austria, Salzburg

There are 37 JANKOVIC listings in Salzburg phone book, which you may search at the link below. JANKOVIC is Croatian or Serbian?

Thank you for your assistance, unfortuneatly she does not seem to be listed...We have not received any assistance from the Austrian Embassy here in South Africa..Is there any way that we would beable to locate my Birth Certificate, as I was born in Hallein.

Once again "Thank you"

the community-office Hallein has no direct e-mail-adress stated, but you can go in contact about the following formular with your questions and also for getting birth-certificate. the last you get since 1938 at the "Standesamt" at community-office. all others before 1938 are to get about roman.cath.parish-churches.

E-Mail: your e-mail-adress

for research more back you can go in contact with the parish-church Hallein:
http://www.kirchen.net/portal/
click on map on Hallein and take then again Hallein.

but write first to the above community-office (Stadtgemeindeamt) Hallein and ask about Jankovic-family.
as it is a slavic familyname i´m not of sure, if they always lived there. must to be find out at their "Meldeamt" (registry-office).can be that the Jankovic came at time of WW2 or so (a guess by myself). best you send also a document which shows the relationship like a marriage-certificate of parents or maybe a copy of your passport or so....in Austria you get 100 years back only info if you related and if you can state this.
if you are born in Hallein, so think in the hospital (Krankenhaus)there. :o)

so maybe ask if you are also in the files there:

i think Jankovic is of orgin a serbian name.
hope the info helps and good luck.

http://www.kirchen.net/portal/dekanate.asp?id=10468
click at map on Hallein and take then again Hallein for their e-mail-adress.

sorry, again - have seen now that her maidenname was not Jankovic - it was Schneider :o)

Hi there,

Thank you for your assistance, I have sent an email and will now await their reply....lets hope.0)

Thank you

now, hope the community-office Stadtgemeindeamt Hallein
will clear up some for you. if your mother maybe went back directly to Hallein they must have them in their files at their Meldeamt/registry-office. otherwise i would hope you get info of other place she went there. we have now also a central registry in Vienna, where they can make a lookup online. because of this i thought you maybe send a scannning of a document which states your relationship. if they can find her adress, but will not tell you - think there would be the possibility,that they will ask her for you if she would like to contact you.
now in any case - good luck! :o)
