    3. Sorry, some spark ripped this out of my mailbox before I was finished, here it goes again: 1. THIS IS WHEN YOU USE STETTLS SEEKER - nothing bether than that, it will give you all the places and GPS for all the same names. The link to this one is http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/ <http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/> 2. WHEN I KNOW THE NAME AND THE APPROXIMATE AREA OK here goes the instruction for using www.mapy.cz Get on the mapy site and put in the Czech name, it will not use the German name! Then the Czech map will come up with a thumbtack on the area. Click on it and it will enlarge. Go up to where you can see the word "Dalsi" - click on it Under Dalsi a menu will come down where it says "Historicka" click on it and there you will find the old German map with German names for the Czech names. Someone has typed in Czech names on this old German map for better navigation (for those you only know the Czech name) 3. Then USE THE AUSTRIAN HUNGARIAN MILITARY MAPS Bring back the Czech mapy to the original size and study the location. And then you go to the Austrian Hungarian Military maps for details at this site: http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm Aida
