[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Germans from Hungary

[Carolyn Schott]

Randy - I don't know anything about that particular village, but for lots of
Germans from Hungary info, check out http://www.dvhh.org/ My Klein ancestors
wandered around Hungary for awhile and this has been a GREAT source for me
to track 'em down.
