Donauschwaben Villages' Helping Hands Project (DVHH)

The DVHH is a volunteer project to collect and publish historical and genealogical information for the former Danube Swabian villages situated in the six Donauschwaben regions of what was until 1918 the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Swabian Turkey, Banat, Batschka, Smyrna, Slavonia and Bosnia. We offer a repository of information specific to Donauschwaben genealogy, culture and lifestyles. In many cases we can offer one-to-one assistance to fellow researchers.
