I just picked this up from another RootsWeb list. After selecting a country, you enter a city name, and the site responds with: 1) The county that the city is in 2) The coordinates of the city 3) The elevation (in meters) You can then click on "Neighboring" to see a list of cities and towns that surround the city you entered. Very nice site.

Hi Dan, Even on the census you can find other family members if you (a) recognize their names, and (b) look within walking vicinity. I found my late great Aunt Margaret Doyle Feeney that way. She was living near her parents and sister.
