Ah Larry.... I guess it is not Haberkladrau after all.... I did a bit of searching and I came across a village name of Haberle after all, and it is near Prachatitz (Prachatitze). Watch your yahoo mail, I will send you a clipping of a little map I found. The link is the same as I sent to you early, but it is not the thumbnail No. 1 but the thumbnail No. 2. So go back to it and look at it. The historicka reveals a Haberles!!! So, here I have learned something, too.
