Descendants of Johann Halbauer

The Halbauer surname first appears in Wallern's then-Lutheran church records in 1654-1659 where Matthis and Ursula Halbauer are listed as birth parents of Elisabeth (1654), Jacob (1656) and Eva (1659), as well as godparents to other children. The surname is in Wallern's 1675 Urbarium (as Halbbauer), however, it is not apparent in a 1589 recording of names in Wallern. The surname also appears in later villages records via the Magistrate Jacob Halbauer in the 1710-1715 period. There are issues in the 1715 and 1720 Urbariums. At first glance, it is strangely missing from the 1715 Urbarium (though it may be recorded incorrectly as Jacobus Halbrecht), as one would expect the 1715 Magistrate to be a taxpayer. Likewise, there is no exact Halbauer in the 1720 Urbarium ...but there are a Jacobus Holbsaur, Christianus Holpaur, Matthias Holczpaur and Sebastianus Hapaur, and since Jacob was known to marry twice and there are no other likely progenitor names in earlier records, these are likely Jacob and (some of) his sons. Hopefully, when earlier church records become available, I'll be able to prove this and possibly connect the line.

The exact line is documented back to a birth in Wallern in 1736 of Sebastian to this Johann Halbauer, born ~1691, and his first wife Elisabeth, though the available records do not state Johann's birth location nor his parents names. So, while I believe the exact Halbauer line likely arrived in Wallern between 1589 and 1654, I can only prove they were present in 1736 and later. Where they came from prior to 1654 (or even 1736) is unknown... but it is a Germanic name.

Notes for Stefan Halbauer:
Stefan Halbauer was born 1824 in House 20, Hauptstraße 33, Valla, Austria-Hungary (present-day Wallern, Austria). He built house number 178 Mittlegasse. He moved to Albert-Kasimir between 1881 and 1884.

Per Josef Graisy of Vienna, Austria:
   Stefan Halbauer hat um 1869 dieses Haus (178 Mittelgasse) gebaut. Er gehört im die große Verwandtschaft der Halbauer, deren Stammhaus das Haus mit der späteren Doppel-Nummer 19/20 (Hauptstraße 31/33) ist. Stefan ist der Sohn des Matthias Halbauer und der Elisabeth Unger, geboren 1824. Im Jahre 1860 , heiratete er die Maria Traudtner, Tochter des Paul und der Maria Graf aus dem Haus 130. Von 1861 bis 1874 sind 5 kinder getauft worden.
   Stefan Halbauer und Maria Traudtner haben Wallern verlassen. Es ware normal, anzunehmen, daß sie nach Amerika ausgewandert sind. Doch habe ich Matrikenbuch von Halbturn entdeckt, daß ein Felix Halbauer, Sohn des Stefan und der Maria Traudtner in Jahre 1884 eine Magdalena Deutsch aus Pamhagen geheiratet hat.
   Auf jeden Fall war Felix Halbauer zu dieser Zeit auf dem Gutshof Kasimer bei Halbturn, der aber jetzt auf ungarischem Gebist liegt.

Which roughly translates too:
   Stefan Halbauer built in 1869 this house (178 Middle Lane). He belongs in the large relationship of the Halbauer, whose principal line is the house with the later double number 19/20 (Main Street 31/33). Stefan is the son of Matthias Halbauer and Elizabeth Unger, born 1824. In the year 1860, he married Maria Traudtner, daughter of Paul and Maria Graf from the house 130. Five children were baptized from 1861 to 1874.
   Stefan Halbauer and Maria Traudtner had left Wallern. It would be normal to suppose that they emigrated to America. But I discovered in the Registrar's book of Halbturn that Felix Halbauer, son of Stefan and Maria Traudtner, in year 1884 married a Magdalena Deutsch from Pamhagen.
   In any case, Felix Halbauer was at this time on the estate farm Kasimer by Halbturn, which is however now of the Hungarian area.

Wallern:
   Wallern, Austria is in the Burgenland province of current-day Austria (i.e., in the Austrian Crownland of "Lower Austria" -- Niederösterreich) and is located about 40 miles south-east of Vienna, between the Neusiedler See and the border of Hungary. The border is about 3 miles south and Budapest, Hungary is about 100 miles east.
   The Burgenland was in the Hungarian county of Vas (Castrifieri prior to 1830) and under Hungarian administration until it was ceded to Austria by Hungary by the Treaty of Trianon in 1921, following the World War I dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It borders Hungary and Slovenia (formerly part of Yugoslavia). Settled mostly by southern Germans as early as the twelfth century, "Burgenland" translates to "castle country" and castles connote warfare, borderland, feudalism etc. Since the Empire was a mixture of races and religions, Croatian, Slovene (Slav) and Hungarian (Magyar) minorities are also found, but German language and customs predominate. A series of natural, political and economic disasters caused a major emigration during the period 1890-1913. Upwards of forty thousand Burgenlanders came to the United States.
   German (including written script) was the language of choice whenever the locality was settled by Germans (there was massive migration from Germany in the 1700's and early 1800's), or if the pastor or priest happened to be German. Hungarian was used in localities with few Germans and in the period after the Revolution of 1848. Latin was used frequently also. The area was predominantly Catholic.

Barbara Rabbe, who traveled in the Burgenland in 1998, provides this description of current-day Wallern:
   Wallern -- a very unique town -- in a flat area with farms outside of town in long narrow rectangles. Men all have tractors that they use to transport themselves to their fields. They park them in big stucco sheds that open to alleys behind their houses. Most of the houses are walled and connected making a solid wall facing the street and are right on it. They each have a front door and a big fancy garage door that opens from the street into their houses and courtyard. Their backyards are walled in also. The crops were grapes, tomatoes in plastic greenhouses, hay, sunflowers and some kind of greens. Every long rectangle was a different crop so I don't know how many each farmer tends or owns. Our guide said most construction jobs in Vienna are done by Burgenlanders as there isn't enough farmland to support them all. Some new houses are being built, same style as old, brick blocks covered with stucco but not walled in.
   We stopped by a lovely Gasthaus on the edge of town. No English spoken there. I saw "salat" and asked if "kalt" and the young waiter nodded. It was a beautiful gourmet lunch, a combination of chopped vegetables with white cheese cubes and herbs. The place was filled with beautifully made unusual crafts. The cemetery adjoining the church was quite unique. The Austrians recycle their graves about every 20-30 years so the oldest graves were from the 1960's. They all had large, shiny new tombstones for each family. The vertical portion at the back had the family name and some had pictures next to the individual's names and the horizontal portion was about a foot high and ran the length of the grave and was used as a planter. All were meticulously planted and cared for. I saw all the family names that I see when I read the church records. This was a moving moment. The main tower in town has an occupied stork nest on top, a huge thing and intricately woven with reeds. It looks like a thriving area, people of all ages and lots of bike riding around town and some families riding along paved road between fields and highway. Great place for biking, very flat. We saw lots of bikes in racks on way back to Vienna, perhaps this is where they bike for the day. Every so often along the highway, as we traveled from village to village, we noticed a religious monument at the end of the row of crops.

He married Margaret Spohn 1915 in Stearns Co, MN, adopted daughter of Peter Spohn and Susann Louisa Mohrbacher. She was born 6 Dec 1896 in New York and died 27 Aug 1989 in Lindstrom, MN.

Notes for Franciscus (Frank F) Weiss:
   Frank Weiss' social security application (dated December 28, 1950) was assigned # 476-34-3025. He lists his name as Frank F. Weiss, with parents Joseph Weiss and Theresa Halbauer. He gives his birth date as March 20, 1889 and birth location as Rasimir or Kasimir, Austria (the first letter of the name of the city has stamped text obliterating part of it). He lists 607 Edmund Ave, St. Paul, MN as his current address and the Church of St Agnes as his current employer. He indicates he was 61 on his last birthday (which is consistent with his claimed birth date and the application date).
   Subsequent research reveals his birthplace was Albértkázmérpuszta, Austria-Hungary, known as Albert-Kasimir or Kasimir for short. Kasimir was a communal farm settlement associated with the town of Féltorony, Hungary, which is where Frank's father, Joseph Weiss, was born.

Notes for Margaret Spohn:
   1) Margaret Spohn was adopted by the Peter Spohn family. She was an orphan from New York who came west on an "orphan train." The legend is that they loaded the train in New York, headed west, and offered the children for adoption at every stop. Each child continued westward until adopted.
   2) Margaret walked out on Frank and the children when the children were still young. She never returned. The story is that Frank came home one day to find that Margaret had packed her bags and left. Frank raised their two children.
