Are you certain that the Vucova of your ancestors is the one also called Temesvukovár in old Temes county, now called Vucova and located in Romania?
There was also a town called Vukovár in old Szerém county of Croatia-Slavonia (belonging to the kingdom of Hungary), today called Vokovar in Croatia.This particular Vukovár definitely had a partly ethnic German population as the name Starz would imply.My sources don't confirm the same for the Vucova that ended up in Romania.
For further contacts, check the web site of the Danube Swabians at http://www2.genealogy.net/gene/reg/ESE/dsinfo.htmhttp://www2.genealogy.net/gene/reg/ESE/dsinfo.htm
Look for the Vucova in the Banat (if there is an entry), and the one for Slavonia, perhaps called Wukowar.
