I have some limited information about a great-grandfather.

So far, this is the information that I have:

  • Johann Löprich
  • Born around 1868
  • Married to 18 April 1892 to Anna Müller in Rafael, Sibiu, (Hermannstadt) Romania
  • Father - Johann Löprich
  • Mother - Maria Löprich
  • Died around 1929 in Canton, Ohio, USA

How do I find more information about Johann in order to find other relatives either in Romania or who may have immigrated to Germany or Austria after the war?

    This is too broad to be a good fit for this site -- can you narrow it down to a single question? Perhaps asking how you can locate a birth record? –  Aug 06 '18 at 12:34

Löprich is a common Transylvania Saxon surname and the German name for Râvâsel is Rosch. There are many resources for Transyvania Saxon research besides the official Romanian records.

Historical records

While Rosch was a relatively small village, Ancestry.com does include 1885-1895 baptism, marriage and burial records of the Lutheran church in Rosch in Romania, Vital Records from Selected Regions, 1607-1914

There is a project based in Germany to extract records from various sources but there doesn't seem to be anyone concentrating on Rosch.
