Review/Description: This inventory from the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen in Stuttgart lists available records for the Banat villages whose church books were microfilmed in 1939. These films were later copied by the Mormons and are the same ones you can borrow from the Family History Library. This inventory does not list FHL film numbers, but you can easily look them up online. The real value in this inventory is that it tells which villages were filials of which other villages. This sometimes changed, making it difficult to track down the records for a particular village. This inventory will help solve that problem. Unfortunately, there is no listing for Setschanfeld/Malenitzfalva/Gross Gaj, however ZVA has copies of the Gross Gaj church records that include events for Setschanfeld.
