Is anyone able to find this Czechoslovakian village!?!

Question

Hello, I recently found a postwar ID card for my great aunts. there are two versions of the same card, one typed and one handwritten. I am looking for the birthplace of my great aunts. the birth place is written as Lewisyn, in the province of Sudety, in the country of Czechoslovakia. It is also spelled as Sewisyn. Can anyone tell me where this village is? If not is anyone able to offer any further help with my search. I do appreciate anyone's time searching for me! Thank you

I looked in the Genteam gazetteer without luck. I tried both spelling variations: names beginning with Lew and Sew, also tried Lev and Sev. I looked at names contain syn … no luck. I wonder if it a mis-spelling.

Sudety, I think is Sudetenland. This suggests either Bohemia or Moravia, possibly Silesia. It seems odd that would be used for post-war Czechoslovakia, unless, perhaps, the identity card is not Czech. Many people from Czechoslovakia fled to the west as the war ended.

Edit…

Perhaps posting an image, unless your great-aunts are still living, might give some other clues.

Could it be badly misspelled and be "Loucim" in the Domazlice (= Taus) district in the Plzen (=Pilsen) region?

As George suggested, posting an image could possibly help.

I agree with George that an image, particularly of the handwritten card would be helpful. Transcription errors from handwriting are common. It would be very unlikely to be a Czech document since Czechoslovakia outlawed the use of "Sudety" in official documents in 1945, given the use of "Czechoslovakia" more likely a US or British refugee registration.

Sudety is Sudete in Polish(Sudeten in German). But I can't find that town either.

It's not a town nor is it a mountain range, Cristina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudetenland

Thaks Jochen, I know. I meant the town Tim is looking for.

My great aunt is still living, I could post it with all the personal info blocked out, or just crop the village name. Also, something that MAY be helpful, a typed document of my great aunt's birth. It lists a Kiberg as her place of birth. Let me know which version of the image you would prefer. I really appreciate your help with this search!

Personal info blocked out. Reading handwriting is easier if you have words to compare, not just one word.

Post all info you have / you can give. It may be of greater help if we do not have to stab around in the dark...

Kieberg or Kühberg, also Schemern or Schiemern, now Všímary, uninhabited, part of Malšin in the okres Český Krumlov?

---

For some reason I am not able to post a photo of it here from my computer. Any ideas?

Use a public picture hoster, e.g. https://postimages.org/, https://pichost.net/, etc.

Or use a personal free space page page here at WikiTree.

Answer 1

Hi, it could be Zawischin, now Závišín. There are two villages of that name nowadays. One near Mariánské Lázně, the other one near Strakonice. The first one is definitely in former Sudety.

Answer 2

Here is the image. There are other typed versions by a typewriter, some say Sewisen or Lewisen

Answer 3

Velešín, if this shall be Weleschin.
