My ancestors come from a town named Rowersdorf. I have been told it was
destroyed during WWII but know nothing more. Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance

Do a search for Rowersdorf at the Jewish Gen site at
http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp

You will find two possibilities, Reyersdorf in Austria, and Reiersdorf in
Germany.

What is the surname your are searching for, and do you think they came from
Germany or Austria?

There's a city in Czech Republic called Třemešna ve Slezsku, formerly
Röwersdorf. Maybe it's this town?

I found Röversdorf in Kartenmeister.com. Are you sure of the spelling? Perhaps
the umlaut over the o was dropped and the v became a w. This former German town
belongs to Poland since post-WWII border changes.
