I have a problem with reading the manifest, now. I dont know why, but now all of a sudden, the manifest looks like it says "Sudetenland" as for where the great grandparents came from, not Dudin, like I thought. Now I'm REALLY confused, but at least I narrowed it down to two places! HA HA, before this, I had NO idea where they came from! Are you good at deciphering handwriting? Maybe you can help me read this thing!

Congratulations, John! As for "Sudetenland", I found the following: "Sudetenland (German; Sudety in Czech and Polish) was the name used in the first half of the 20th century for the regions inhabited mostly by Germans in the border areas of Bohemia, Moravia, and those parts of Silesia associated with Bohemia." Also: "The Sudetenland is a historical region comprising areas of the Czechoslovakian provinces of Bohemia and Moravia, in the vicinity of the Sudeten Mountains. Although the majority of inhabitants in the area were German speaking, in 1919 at the conclusion of World War One, the Treaty of St. Germain incorporated the area into the Czechoslovak Republic. In subsequent years control over the territory became a point of bitter contention between Germany and Czechoslovakia."
