There is a excellent website in English (select the option for English on the left if it comes up in any other languatge) fo Hostau in the Bohemian Forest Radbusa district. There is a list of PDFs over 30 Heimat newsletters. Many of the earlier ones were written on a typewriter but they are still legible and they have lists of names associated with the Hostau parish community as well as other data. Later editions of the Heimatbrief seem to concentrate on descriptions of group gatherings and celebrations at Christmas, Easter, etc., without the typical lists of present residences of expellees. For those with an interest in this area one of the best web pages at the site is the one reached by clicking on Directory. Explore all the links to include the PDFs of the newsletter because there are maps, nistory and other important data for that area. There is a particularly good page about the expulsion with maps showing where people went. Karen **************AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.
