Susan, Have you checked out www.BukovinasocietyofAmerica.org ? Every name you mentioned except BREDL, appears in their database. The only problem might be that you must be a member to access their database. A membership is $15.00 a year. If you go to that website all the instructions are there. The reason I suggest this site is because parts of so many German families from Bohemia and Moravia emmigrated to the East from 1790 on.
