Volunteer
to Help
The DVHH
Project always appreciates, and is in need
of, those who can volunteer to work with us
in any capacity. Whether it be assisting
with the preparation of materials to be
published, answering email queries, starting
a new village website, performing look
ups, mentoring, serving on the
administrative team, or any other ideas you
have to share. We believe everyone has
something they can offer. Come join our
group of 'Helping Hands' and help us make
our site even more helpful to fellow
researchers. Just ask one of us!

Village
Coordinator Guidelines
Please read the
following:
The DVHH Project
is for people of Donauschwaben descent. Please
place your villages' German name variant (if
known) and all other language variants on your
village home page, this will ensure people will
find your site. The
DVHH Village
Index is an ongoing project, where
you can enter any part of the village name and
if the village is in our database, the
results will provide all known language
variants. If you do not find your village,
contact
Jody McKim and it have it added.
We ask that
requests for assistance be handled in a timely
manner.
Please be patient
with those asking for help and recognize their
inexperience. Educating them is the most
productive way to help them grow. Remember we
all started at the bottom.
In order to
maintain the impartiality of DVHH we ask that
you do not use the DVHH as a forum for political
or religious debates.
We ask that the
primary focus of your village pages be aligned
with the goals of the DVHH project, avoiding
“personal WebPages.” We do suggest a designated
“Family Registry" for your village page be a
part of your website.
We ask that you
provide one of the below logos (both transparent) and
link the image to www.dvhh.org on your Village web pages.

We ask that you
provide a link to the
DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES
Mailing List [DVHH-L] sponsored by Rootsweb
on your website:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/HUN/DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES.html
We ask that you
subscribe to the DVHH-L mail list, respond
to inquires regarding your village and
participate in general, contributing ideas and
sharing topics of general interest.
We ask that you
familiarize yourself with the pages of the
DVHH.org. We are attempting to provide research
and cultural information important to the family
historian of a Donauschwaben family.
Thank you for
your support!
