Hello!
Sorry, I have to correct your information. Hohenau
is 38.3 miles NE of Vienna. It is near the river "March", and near
the border to Tschech and Slovak Republik. You can see a map
here

Merry Christmas,

On my homepage is all about the
genealogy / family research (genealogy). Of course there are still more, as
you see on the menu, just have a look through all. My family name "duchess" in
this form of writing is very rare. So far, I could name all carriers assign
ONE family. The name "Hadwig" exists in the northern German-speaking today as
a (rare) first name. It is the ancient form of today's first name "Hedwig."
More here ...My research extends over the north of Leobschiitz Jägerndorf,
Freiwaldau up to Moravian Schönberg. So a part of Polish Silesia (Upper
Silesia), Austria-Silesia, and a bit north Moravia. AND of course, Vienna -
where our family emigrated about 1870!
Another of my hobbies is collecting and indexing of home books and other rare
documents from home, "my area" in Silesia, and of course, of Vienna. The
information contained in the books home with the Vorfahrenforschungen
information can often provide assistance. More here ...
My personal database lists all persons that appear in my own literature
collection.
