    3. I only learned of the expulsion recently through this mailing list. Are there any books on the expulsion? My ancestors lived in the Rosshaupt/Strobl/Zirk area, so anything about that area would be of interest to me, before or after the expulsion.

I, too, have had someone who went to my paternal Gt-grandmother, Theresia Kahabka's, house site at Domaslav 18 (near Lestkov) and sent back pictures.

    3. Brandt, you can go to this link and then scroll down to the names of individual cities. There are two catgories, major cities, and villages in the country side. I found one witness report on Rosshaupt . You will also notice that not only Germans were mistreated, but Czechs that remained with their families in the Sudetenland area. http://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/whitebook/desg00.html Aida On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 4:10 PM, Brandt Gibson <ironhide781@hotmail.com>wrote: > > I only learned of the expulsion recently through this mailing list.
