This Email did not come back to me as list mail so I am sending it a second time. I apologize if it duplicates something you have already received. Karen ----------------- Local, country and district archives around Germany have documents associated with refugees expelled from CZ in 1945ß46. The LDS has a lot of them on film. Some titles are Aus- und Einwanderungen, 19. Jahrhundert Schweinfurt (Bayern). Auswanderungsamt Aus- und Einwanderungen, 1800-1947 Freising (Bayern). Landratsamt There are also large Heimat libraries that may be able to help find those resources in Germany. There is one at Nurnberg and one in Wurttemberg. Search the Internet with Bibliothek im Haus der Heimat and HAUS DER HEIMAT DES LANDES BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG in STUTTGART The librarians generally speak English. Ask them where to locate the local lists of German refugees from CR in 1945-46. The various Heimat societies also have their own databases of the surnames from the specific area that concerns them, where the surnames were found in the old Heimat and where the descendants of those expelled now live in Germany. There are links to many Heimat society websites at the Sudetendeuteshen Landsmannschaft web page at: http://www.sudeten.de/bas/index_a.htm Each site has a Kontact link or an Edress somewhere on the home page or other pages (like at the very bottom of a page). Explore each button on the left of the site home page until you come up with the contact information. Remember to write simple inquiries about what data is available...no compound sentences. Karen
