http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/SUD/sudet.html Bill, try the URL above. You can click on the letter of the alphabet for your now destroyed place and if they have any records of it, it should come up. HOWEVER, you may need to know the placename of the parish church if it was not in the destroyed village. If you have a map showing a cross or other symbol for a church you may be able to pick out the placename you need. Once you have the name of the parish place, look for that in the alphabetical list (click on the letter) at the URL above. Maps with symbols for churches can be found online at Bill Tarkulich's great map page. http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm Select the latitude and longitude that would include your place (maybe check that at Shtetlseeker town search first) and the map that unfolds will be very high resolution showing buiildings and footpaths in 1885-1905. The now-destroyed places will be shown with German names and with the nearby places where there were churches, castles and other important buildings. Once you have an idea of the parish name you should be able to find the what records are available at the alphabetical place name list at the top of this message. I believe there is a map online showing a cross where each destroyed village was located. Perhaps another list member has a copy or knows the URL. There may also be a Heimatbuch with a page in it about the history of your place. If you tell us what that name is, we may be able to help more.
