Bruce, following World War II, the Czech authorities expelled the more than 3 million Sudeten Germans, as they were known, from their homes. Weren't you aware of that? So if your Alt family was German, you would definitely find no relatives living in the Girsig area today.

Girsig is located in the northwestern part of what was until 1918 the Austrian province of Moravia (in German: Mähren). The nearest larger city to Girsig is Römerstadt, which is now known by the Czech name Rymarov.
