Hi,
I'm trying to find information about my grandfathers side of the family. His name was Albert Maxa and lived in Simsfilz Gemeinde Stephanskirchen. I'm able to find information about Stephanskirchen, but I can not find anything about the town of Village of Simsfilz. Can someone tell me where I can go to get information about my family.
I appreciate any help you can provide. 
Rolf Maxa
Hello,
this is what I found online:
http://www.stephanskirchen.de/index.php?id=0,26
You can zoom into the Map or click onto "Simser Filze" in the "Straßenverzeichnis"
This is a historical description:
http://www.stephanskirchen.de/index.php?id=0,29
"Nach 1800 veränderte sich das soziale Gefüge durch neue Siedlungen in der Hofleiten, am Kuglmoos, in der Lauterbacher-, Simser- und Westerndorfer Filze."
> new settlements after 1800 in the Simser Filze
