One of my ancestors came from about 200 km east of Aussig and settled in Hesse, Germany some time before 1659 when he married his wife in a Lutheran church. Presumably he was forced out at the end of the 30 Years War because he was a protestant in Catholic Bohemia. Forced migrations are nothing new to that part of Europe

My ancestors were forced from Poznan during the Kulturkampf.
