Hi Kathy, I looked at the PDF through my browser and it was definitely distorted when you tried to read the names. For some reason I decided to try downloading it and open it Adobe Reader. At 100 and at least up to 150% the text is very readable. Someone did an excellent job of creating a map that is very detailed and readable! The actual document size is 37x26 inches. Also interesting, I never realized that there would be such a substantial difference between viewing a PDF in a browser (Firefox) and Adobe Reader! Just did another experiment. The actual document size is 37x26 inches and I tried printing a page. A section came out quite readable on my laser printer. I selected print Poster and it must have printed 15 pages all very readable. My suggestion is if you want to save and send just a section of the map is to use a product called Snagit. Been using it to capture screen or sections of images for years. Works great. If you want me to snag a section of the map let me know the house numbers you are interested in.

I found an online map of the houses in Franzfeld in 1944, Ortsplan 1944 at www.franzfeld.de/?page_id=821. I was able to download it to my computer, but the print is too small to read. When I expanded the picture, the names are then too distorted to read. Do you know if there is a way to purchase a copy of this map at a size where the names are readable, or do you know if anyone has coded the family home parcels and attached a list of who lived at each site? This is a terrific map and I would love to compare it to our extended family to connect with where they lived. Thanks for any guidance! (...and also for all each of you do. This list is a wonderful resource!) Kathy Agard Just in case a family member is on the list and would like to share information - Great Grandparents - Christine Bohland (nee: Scheuermann) from Franzfeld, immigrated to the United States in 1904 with children Phillip, and Elizabeth Daughter of Jakob Scheuermann and Katharina Klein Johann Bohland from Mramorak immigrated to the United States in 1901 Son of Deitrich Bohland and Elizabeth Urschel ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
