Peter: You have made my day. Thank you for the information. You are a gentleman and a scholar from the old school, as my late father might have said. The search for the correct 'Hennersdorf' has gone on for years and years, due to the surprisingly large number of towns throughout German speaking parts of Europe which have all had that name from time to time.Throw in all of the 'Grosshennersdorfs' and 'Kleinhennersdorfs', the Hannersdorfs and the Jennersdorfs, and the search has not been simple. To now find that the records are on the Internet is great.A new town history shows that all of the Sudeten Germans were gone from the town by 1947 and may have been scattered throughout Germany, and this will be interesting to study further. It does appear that my ancestors from Jindrichov had re-located to Vienna by 1870, and I wish that more records from Vienna were available on line. Thanks again.
