I have just learned that around 1920 ethnic German families from the Bohemian Egerland chose to migrate to Galicia rather than stay home under the rules of CZ. One of the villages they went to was Machiniec. I found one note that indicated the Germans from that place were "repatriated" by the Third Recih in 1940. That means that Galicians Germans who came from the Egerland in 1920 were sent to Germany in 1940. There are a lot of LDS films covering the repatriated Germans from Eastern Europe. Find them with a KEYWORD search using: Germany immigration 1939- The 1939- limits the results to titles that include 1939 and later years. I have not reviewed those films and do not know if the birthplace of eachperson listed is given. If someone on the list has used them, please tell us what they include. I searched the Internet with: Galizien Egerländer and found some of the URLs below. Some of them are German surname lists associated with certain Galician villages that ended up in Russia in 1945 and are now in Ukraine. If the surnames are not right at the top, just keep scrolling through the page until you find them. The home page at http://www.machliniec.de/ has the names of some villages. Click on all the links to explore each village site.

The LDS FHL currently has a relatively small number of the total EWZ records that are available. The US microfilmed all of the captured German records before they were returned to the Berlin Document Center. The US National Archives in College Park, MD has the complete set of EWZ records. EWZ = Einwanderungszentralstelle Sudenten Germans were not involved in the Nazi EWZ resettlement/naturalization program. But, like Karen said if former Sudenten Germans did reside in Eastern Europe during 1939-1940s they were repatriated (resettled and/or naturalized) via the EWZ. ______ Lavrentiy Krupniak KarenHob@aol.com wrote: > > I have just learned that around 1920 ethnic German > families from the Bohemian > Egerland chose to migrate to Galicia rather than stay home > under the rules of CZ.
