This database consists of 3,941 individuals and 1,320 marriages as of June 14 , 2008.
Every individual is a direct descendant or the spouse of a descendant of Peter Roschitsch (Rožič) and Margaretha Vidosch (Vidoš) who were married on 8 Feb 1764. The couple resided in Schaeflein, Gottschee, Austria (known today as Ovčjak, Kočevje, Slovenia).
None of the parents or ancestors of the spouses of the descendants are included here in order to maintain the integrity of the file. If you or your forebears are here, you are related to everybody else in this file.
There are 17 adoptions. The adoptees and their nine dependents are included this file as related individuals.
This is a dynamic database which is still in progress. It will be updated from time to time as more descendants and ancestors are disclosed.
The full names and the data of Living individuals are not disclosed in order to protect their privacy.
Input is welcome from the descendants of the Roschitsches in this database who care to share information. A significant number of the Living descendants are members of the Gottscheer Heritage and Genealogy Association. Thank you to all, both members and non-members, who have contributed to this database.
