"The Austrian War Archive has no military personnel records for individulas that served in Austrian military from ca. 1867-1914 if the soldier's unit was headquartered in places outside of the boundary of contemporary Austria. For Galicia, Poland doesn't have the records and Ukraine doesn't have the records either. The LDS has the records for soldiers which served prior to ca. 1867....they were microfilmed in Vienna. " Lavrentiy Krupniak
RE: Galicia, Zakarpatska, Transcarpathia regions:
Kiev only has the records from the Russian Empire areas. Galicia was
never in the Russian Empire. Kiev would have records for Volyn, Podolia, etc.
The Zakarpatska oblast archive has cadastral records for places in Transcarpathia Ukraine.
The Central State Archives of Ukraine/Kyiv (Kiev) Branch has no records for areas where Carpatho-Rusyns resided.
L'viv archives has cadastral records for all places that were in Austria's Galicia, which now includes places in southeastern Poland and
L'viv oblast.
To obtain cadastral records from L'viv one has to: 1. write to them, Lavrentiy Krupniak / USA

Tracing Service (ITS) http://www.its-arolsen.de/frameless/deu/index.html In
English: http://www.its-arolsen.org/en/homepage/index.html
The files are controlled by the International Tracing Service, which
operates as an arm of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
It is run by a commission representing the United States, Britain, France, Germany,
Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Poland and Luxembourg.
After the end of World War II, the main task of the International Tracing
Service (ITS) was to search for non-German persons who had become missing or
displaced during the war and to assist separated families in being reunited.
Tracing work only represents a small percentage of the entire activities of
the ITS these days. The main task now is to assemble, classify and evaluate
records about the following groups of persons, that is to issue information
from these records:
• Jews who were deported during the NS-period
• Foreigners who were on the territory of the Reich, mainly on the territory
of the Federal Republic of Germany, during the time from 1939 - 1945
• Displaced Persons (DP's) who were under the care of international relief
organizations - like UNRRA, IRO etc. - after the Second World War, mainly on
the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, in Austria, Switzerland, Italy
and the United Kingdom
• "Children" (i.e. persons who were under 18 years of age at the end of
the war) of members of the aforementioned groups of persons who were displaced
or separated from their parents due to events of the war respectively who were
born on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany during the war

The DAD is primarily concerned with the German emigration ports of Bremen/Bremerhaven,
Hamburg and Cuxhaven. However, in some cases the ports of Boulogne, Cherbourg,
Le Havre or Southampton and others are also recorded as frequently the ships
would call at various European ports and take passengers on board before crossing
the Atlantic. The passenger lists were always written in English.

I am looking for information on a camp in Czech that my father ran after the war, called Horowiz near Piebach (?spelling). I cannot find a thing. It was first used to house German prisoners, then converted to a displaced persons' camp. Thank you. Kelly J Goodwin

Germany Agrees to Open Holocaust Archive (2006)
The largest archives in the world, it holds up to 50 million documents, some
seized by the Allies as they liberated concentration camps. Since 1998, about
half of the documents have been copied in digital form. About 20 percent of
the documents were copied on microfilm before 1998.
Who may file an inquiry and how?
• Prisoners of the concentration camps as well as of other places of
detention under the Reichsführer-SS on the territory of the Reich and on
the German-occupied territories, 1933 -1945
ITS research offer for May 2008 only:
Your DP site is the most comprehensive one I've seen on the subject. You've
done an awesome job! I'd like to offer a new resource for finding out about
DPs in postwar Europe.
My dad was born in Lithuania and lived in several DP camps while in the French
occupation zone of Germany. I'm busy researching his time there and have
received several records regarding him from the International Tracing Service
(ITS) of the International Red Cross Cross.
The ITS has 50 million individual records of World War II history.
One individual may have several records in the ITS database. These records
have now been made available for research following a lengthy period of time
during which access to these records was extremely limited.
I will be there for five days and likely will be able to do research regarding
other Lithuanian DPs. The ITS will be providing a full-time staff member
to work with every two genealogists in the group I will be a part of.
If people would like to provide me with demographic information, I will
see what I can find for them. The more complete info I have, the more likely
the ITS archivists can find something.
I'll be at the ITS for five days and want to make sure I make the most
of my time there. I would be happy to help do research for others once
I'm done with my family research. Please let me know if you have any questions
about my offer of help.
Sincerely,

Our Archives also hold the records of the Jewish community
of Vienna before W.W.II. This material has been catalogued about 40
years ago. The material from after WW II on which I am working now
is very interesting and contains much information on the DPs. A major
part of the material are lists of the DPs in the vrious homes, mainly
the Rothschild hospital the Arzbergerheim and the Frankgasse 2.
