I found my gggrandmother in the IGI and her place of birth is Oberlauterbach, Oberb, Bayern. I sent an email to the geo server and in the reponse were these two towns: Oberlauterbach Part of: Wolnzach GKZ : 09 1 86 162 County : | | +---- Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm {PAF} RegBez : | +------- Oberbayern Land : +--------- Bayern ZIP : 85283 Popul : 232 Locat : (Wolnzach) 48d36m N 11d38m E Maps : TK25 7435 Pfaffenhofen TK50 L7534 Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm Euro Md57 Oberlauterbach (Kr Schrobenhausen) Part of: Aresing GKZ : 09 1 85 113 County : | | +---- Neuburg a d Donau {ND} RegBez : | +------- Oberbayern Land : +--------- Bayern ZIP : 86561 Popul : 230 Locat : (Aresing) 48d32m N 11d18m E Maps : TK25 7433 Schrobenhausen TK50 L7532 Schrobenhausen Euro Mb57 How do I determine which of these is the town I want? I am confused by these results. When I did a search on Mapquest, I had five results for this town name of Oberlauterbach, all of them ssw of Berlin by different mileage amounts. Surely there were not 5 towns named the same within a small area? Ceal Atlanta
