Guten Tag, Carol, and thanks for that Sudetenland URL. Unfortunately for most, the text is in German. The intro says that the referenced book is a trip to the past in a land existing only in the memory; it shows pictures of a land that no longer exists: Boehmen (Bohemia). Fortunately, the map therein is "universal". To my unskilled eye, the shape of Boehmen appears identical to that of the Czech Republic today, at least the western part. Is that right?

Hi, I'm looking for information on a von HITZACKER family. Johann Ernst von Hitzacker married Johanna Friderica HARTWIG in Birkenau, Kreis Heppenheim, Hessen on 24 Sep 1730. However, he was a "royal Prussian officer" (according to the christening record of his son, Andreas Christoph Wilhelm Otto von Hitzacker). In attendance at the child's christening were Christoph von Hitzacker, royal prussian "Hauptmann" (captain) and Otto von Hitzacker, "Erb und Lehns Hn. zu Luneburg." Johann Ernst von Hitacker's father-in-law was a lieutenant in Wolfenbüttel in 1701. I don't know what connection they may have had back in Niedersachsen. I also don't know what happened to the son (Andreas Christoph Wilhelm) when his mother died in 1735, when he was 3. Rose Green
