[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Looking for places in Congress Poland

[Jerry Frank]

The word Karte in German is a problem because it can be translated in two 
ways to English - card or map.  I believe you are looking for maps of 
Congress Poland.

There are a number of different sources that may be of help to you.  The 
biggest problem is that sometimes it requires more than one map to show all 
the different places.

One on line source is http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm 
.  It is very helpful for finding places where you don't have an exact 
spelling match.  The problem is that it will often give you so many options 
that it is difficult to know which is correct.

You mention adjacent areas so for Prussian regions I recommend 
http://www.kartenmeister.com/ or for East Prussia
  http://www.webarchiv-server.de/pin/landkarte/kartenseiten.htm

The Hoefer map is excellent but of course it only covers a small portion of 
Congress Poland.  For other maps that you can purchase, if you know the 
specific location, contact Dave Obee at http://www.genealogyunlimited.com

A full list of other map resources on line can be found at 
http://sggee.org/Maps

Finally, I do have a map for sale that shows over 3300 German villages in 
Congress Poland.  It comes complete with an index.  Email me privately for 
details.
