What today is known as Sînnicolau Mare or Sânnicolau Mare appeared in the [19]40's when the village Deutschsanktnikolaus [german]/Nemet Nagy Szt. Miklos [hungarian] unified [mainly from administrative point of view because, in fact, the "villages" were in the same area] with the village Großsanktnikolaus/Nagyszéntmiklós. This last village was known in the XIX century and earlier also as Szerb Nagy Szt. Miklos or Racz Nagy Szt. Miklos. Szerb = Racz; the orthodox Serbs & Romanians where known as "racz" after their believe to distinguish them from the Germans & Hungarians which where mainly of roman - catholic belief.

There were three Goetz families who homesteaded in the Little Banat community of Southwestern North Dakota. These were
Goetz Kaspar age 30 who arrived Baltimore on 15 Apr 1889 on the
Willehad. Accompanied by wife, Anna 28 and kids, Peter 5 112, Anna 5, Franciska 4 and Josef 18/12. Last residence, Gier.
Goetz Nikolaus age 34 who arrived Baltimore on the Muenchen 8 Apr 1896. Accompanied by wife, Elisabeth 28 and kids, Karl 9, Elisabeth 6,
Nikolaus 4, Theresia 3 and Julia 18/12. Last residence, Weisskirchen.
Goetz Peter age 54 who arrived Baltimore on the Stuttgart on 8 Sep 1892 from Bremen. Accompanied by wife, Katharine 44 and kids, Josef 19, Jakob 17, Catharine 15, Eva 13, Peter 11, Johann 8 and Heinrich
5. No last residence given but tradition indicates they came from Josefsdorf.
However, they are not present in the Josefsdorf KB records. Josefsdorf was established in 1882 and as settlers sold out to lease for America, Donauschwebians came from all over the Banat and Batschka to buy the places offered for sale. When these newcomers found the Joseftdorf conditions more difficult than anticipated they too sold out and left
for the New World. Thus many families were cycled through Josefsdorf to America.
You will find more data on these Goetz families on the FEEFHS website(use the website index).
