Stefan Stader's volumes of "Sammelwerk donauschwäbischer Kolonisten/Auszüge aus der donauschwäbischen Gesamtkartei" [vol. 1-6; AKdFF, Sindelfingen/Germany, 1997-2003] are published in alphabetical order by SURNAMES [published up to "Schazer"]. It has been estimated there will be 9 [10?] volumes in the end. The books are transcribed info from all Authorized Sources of Research Data for the Banat and Batschka area like:
   - WK's book of settlers who were registered in Vienna;
   - Hacker's research data;
   - the data from the "Kirchenbuecher", which were published by AKdFF members; 

   - Etc.
Stader's objective is to have the most accurate  [but we did find some mistakes!] information database available. His major goal is to list the place where the settlers originally came from. These volumes concern only the *original settlers* [~1740-1830] and mainly the settlers from the second and third wave of colonization.

  
After Stefan Stader's death [on 10.12.2003 in Hanau, Germany], AKdFF / Arbeitskreis donauschwäbischer Familienforscher e.V. appointed someone to take over and finish his work on "Sammelwerk donauschwäbischer Kolonisten".
