Dear Judith,

Both Kretchinef and Sighet were part of the Austrian – Hungarian Empires, in the Marmaures Region.

Hans being a Germanic name , your ancestors must have come from Austria

Or maybe a man from Austria ( A match- Sheduhe) came to marry  a women  in Maramures Region  

Your other question don’t know how to resolve it.

Good Luck

Peninah
