[Formerly Donauschwaben Villages Helping Hands Project, founded 2003]

Our Mission is to collect and provide historical and genealogical information for the former Danube Swabian (DS) villages situated in the six regions which were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918: Banat, Batschka, Slavonia - Syrmia, Swabian Turkey, Hungarian Highlands, and Sathmar.

Entering the DVHH Homepage is like walking into an office and being greeted by a host of people, all volunteers, whose desire is to help you discover your Danube Swabian ancestral roots, their history, environs, culture and lifestyles. 

Our website is chock-full of data, having been developed using input from this very forum of volunteers to flesh out all the aspects of the Danube Swabian people.  The DVHH Village Coordinators hope to bring you closer to your ancestral village. Search our Village Index for your village.  If you don't find it, submit the data to Jody McKim.
