Question
Kevin-
I recently discovered family roots that lead directly to the Swiss March area (in the Canton of Schwytz).  There is an oral tradition that the original ancestor immigrated to the March from Moravia after the Hussite war.  However I am having trouble translating the following:

...die nach der Überlieferung flüchtige Hussiten (1434 geschlagen bei Brünn) gewesen und danach in die March gezogen seien...

Can you help?

Answer
Hello Ray,

...die nach der Überlieferung flüchtige Hussiten (1434 geschlagen bei Brünn) gewesen und danach in die March gezogen seien...

... that were, according to tradition, fugitive Hussites (defeated at Brünn 1434) and then (after that) moved into the March ...

Hope this helps a bit.

Peace,
Kevin
