VISITING AUTHOR/EDITOR ARTICLE JUNE 2007 Who
is DVHH-Donauschwaben Village Helping Hands. By
Hans Kopp
Not to long ago in 2003 Jody McKim,
a second generation Donauschwäbin, who only in 1999 discovered that
her ancestors came from the Banat. She is only one of many Germans
whose ancestors came from the former Hungarian Kingdom of the Austrian-Hungarian
Empire, who are in search of an identity and who are interested in the heritage
of their ancestors! This was the motivation to create a website of the
Donauschwaben Villages Helping Hands, Non Profit, Inc., known as the DVHH at www.dvhh.org.
The all-volunteer staff of the DVHH are contributors, whose prime interest
is to help fellow Donauschwaben researchers achieve the goal of finding the
origin of their ancestors and to document historical facts of our
people, their culture, traditions, social mores, as well as towns, maps, images'
and other facts since the settlement of our ancestors. Particularly the
History section at www.dvhh.org/society/history
is intended to educate, are especially suited for our young generations who
do high school and college reports on their heritage.
