Donor from over seas question?

Hi my husbands Drs are still being kinda vague (bc they are still unsure I guess) but they said they "think" his donor is from europ (I'm guessing Germany, my husbands family has a lot of German background) they were saying this will result in slightly higher risks. Anyone been told this?
Also they said they would be using fresh donor cells not frozen but that they would be flown in? Does that sound right?
I'm kinda wondering how they know they will be flown in but still unsure if the donor is over seas or in the U.S.A?
Any info is so appreciated!
