Neu Arad, Banat
Map - link !
Here stopped the family LUDWIG about 1825.
Neu Arad was a colony of people coming from Alsace and Lorraine.
This means LUDWIG could be from there.
As they were in Austrian Silesia after the 30 years war the link with the Rhine valley could be
from the period before this war.
In Freudenthal and Jaegerndorf there were a lot of LUDWIG families.
For me it was difficult to find the right LUDWIGS because of common given names like Franz and
Johann (Hans). Having 3 Johanns at the same time, they were baptized "obern", "niedern"...
In Romania's country side they use to give funny nicknames to identify the person.
New Arad was a part of Banat, Habsburg domain, not Hungary.
First settlers were catholic from West and orthodox from East (Ottoman Empire).
