Hi Listers I was cleaning out my old post and had this thought. I thought it might be fun and useful to have a map & list of all the places that our listers original families are from. So that when we are reading a post and they are talking about some town etc. we would know where it is. I have tried to locate some of the places but haven’t had much luck. I guess 1st of all I don’t have a really good map of the area. (any suggestion). 2nd I haven’t a clue where places are. Just a thought if some one has the time & knowledge. Also I have a copy of a old newspaper article that was an interview with my g grandmother MARGARETA (JUNGER) BRATAN from Deutschsanktmichael. I was wondering if I sent it to some one if they could translate it for me. I think it is probably in German. Also if anyone would know how I could get a better copy or even a copy of the newspaper it was in. I also have copies of words that have been written on the back of cards & pictures that I would love to know what they say and maybe even what dialect they are, if you can tell from writings. Thanks so much for your attention and hoping some one can help. Barb D.

Such a good idea. Anyone know the Google maps API? It should be easy enough if everyone gives the city names (correctly spelled in the local language). Whenever I need a see a place, most anywhere in the world, I search Google maps at maps.google.com. Doing a search for the city and country takes me there. Try it. And if there is "street view" for the area, it makes it even better. I've checked out the village of Deta/Detta, Romania. The city even has a web page with local images and information. I've found my brother-in-law outside his home in Taipei, Taiwan. On Sat, May 17, 2014 at 3:55 PM, Barb D <bbd2424@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Listers > I was cleaning out my old post and had this thought.

Barb, There is a wonderful map made available on the DVHH site by Alex Leeb which gives all the villages of the Banat. http://www.banaters.com/dre/gridmap.asp Give it a try.
