I received two responses to my inquiry about the genealogies that
were required in Germany during the Hitler era.  They were required
of all Germans to prove Arryan ancestry.  They were called 
AhrenPass (Ancester Pass).  Both respondents stated that the 
AhrenPass was in the hands of the individual involved.  One
respondent said that the individual was Austrian.

What I would still like to know is, does the German government have
copies of these documents?  Are they accessible?  Also, I believe
Hitler felt that Austria should have been part of Germany so the
requirement for the Austrians to generate these reports may have
been a different case than for other conquered nations, such as
Czechoslovakia.  Any other comments appreciated.

					Thanks in advance!
