David, I looked up in my Einsiedl information ("Errinnerungen an Einseidl, Werden und Vergehen einer deutschen Stadt in Bohmen im Wechsel der Geschichte," by Ingeborg Hubl), and found Johann Schott, house #82, "Beruf und Hausname" Tischler, Gubabinder. There was an Einsiedler school teacher Rudolf Schottner (umlaut over the "o"), no years mentioned (p. 183) Also, there was a Johann Schott who was a volunteer fireman (p. 336), with a picture of the firemen. This book is not indexed, so just glanced through the pages which had lists of people living in Einsiedl, Kschiha, Pfaffengrun (umlaut over the "u"), and Paslas. Johann Schott was the only one found listed in a house in Einsiedl, and none in the other towns I mentioned. This book was written and published in 1971, and probably based on who was living there before 1945. If you have any questions, please let me know. If it's something I can look up, I'll be happy to. This book is written in German, which I barely read, but if I find a paragraph with your surname, I can copy it and hopefully you or someone you know can translate it! Hope I have been of some help. (By the way, my family is from Einsiedl, Marienbad, Pfaffengrun, Rojau and probably a few other towns close by.)
