Hello, everyone.

I kindly ask your help me find records related to Vilmos Antal Farkas. He was my brother-in-law's mother's first husband. Thanks.

These are the information I know:

Name: Vilmos Antal Farkas

Birth: 15 November 1905

Birth Place: Sibiu, Sibiu, Romania

Father: József Farkas (Birth:12 January 1874, Romania)

Monther: Adelheid Eleonore Birthelmer (Birth: 26 March 1882, Braşov, Braşov, Romania). Married Name: Józsefné Farkas

Passport number: 38676, issued by the Romanian legation authorities in Rio de Janeiro, on June 1, 1933.

Julia Szent-Györgyi

Number 643. Dated in Nagyszeben, 20 November 1905.

Informant: the below-named father, residence Nagyszeben, Bruckenthal Gasse number 26, with whom the below-named assistant registrar is personally acquainted.

Father: József Farkas, Roman Catholic, notions merchant, residence and birthplace Nagyszeben, age 31 years.

Mother: Mrs. József Farkas born Adél Eleonora Birthelmer, Lutheran, residence Nagyszeben, birthplace Brassó, age 23 years.

Possibly a (sadly short-lived) cousin born in Sopron: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GTVN-8FP?i=96. (What the record definitely confirms is that there was at least one Lutheran family in Brassó with the surname Birthelmer.)

I'm not finding anything more, but that's unsurprising: places that are now in Romania generally have very little (or absolutely nothing) available online. You've already found more than I could, with his parents' birthdates.

Thanks, Julia Szent-Györgyi.

Amália Birthelmer is the name in the record you found. I'll try to find on Internet if there's any other record related to her.

Unfortunately I don't speak Hungarian, neither Romanian.

If I got it right, you said Amália Birthelmer was born in Sopron, Hungary.

If you please could tell me what, if any, other info is written in the record: birthdate, deathdate, and places.

Thanks,

Byll

Amália is the short-lived child's mother, and she was born in Brassó, same as Adél, hence my guess that they're probably related.

Julia Szent-Györgyi,

The record you found led me to find its match on Family search.org: I already added and attached Margit's to my brother-in-law's family tree. Margit had five more siblings.

Margit's full name is Margit Hegedüs and she was Adelheid Eleonore Birthelmer's niece.

Amália's full name is Birthelmer Amália Friderika, sister of Adelheid Eleonora Birthelmer.

My heartfelt thanks for your help,

Byll

Hi, if you want to dig further, the Transylvanian Genealogical Society has records both from Brassó (Brasov, currently Romania) as well as From Nagyszeben (Sibiu, Romania) available as digital images. For a full list see here: http://erdelygen.uw.hu/forrasok.php

Contact them, they may be able to help.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, besides getting also a number of records from them previously, so I know what they have is legit and useable - however not indexed like it is on Family Search, so be prepared for _a lot_ of searching through records, especially with bigger cities like Brassó or Nagyszeben.
