Ansiedlerakten Records
I recently found a microfilm (#1326450) titled Ansiedlerakten, 1782-1805 , "Card file and documents relating to settlers from Germany, Bohemia and Moravia to Galicia and Bukovina during the 18th-19th century."
It contains a record of my 5th ggf who emigrated from Framerscheim, Germany to Illischestie, Bukovina. I can translate most of the record but have questions about the document itself. What was it's purpose? Who created it? How did it come to be typed? Why does it list facts seemingly not related to the emigration such as name, birth and death dates of children who died before emigration and the death date of my 5th ggf even though he died almost 40 years after emigration? Images of 2 cards attached.

This question was submitted about the time of your change to a new system. It's been over a month and I just want to make sure it didn't get lost in the switch.

It's been 2 years since this was submitted. Any new insights? Why is this question marked "Rejected"?

@BusterC Emperor Joseph II of Austria first called for people to settle in Galicia and the Bukovina during the 1780s. At the time, the Bukovina was part of the Austrian Empire. Considering the document's title is 'Ansiedlerakten' (refering to immigrants) instead of 'Aussiedlerakten' (refering to emigrants), it's likely the point was for the Empire to know who was settling in their area of jurisdiction. The reason it's typed is probably because people felt it was worth keeping and had it transcribed.
