Hello list , Harking back to days of yore in old Germany , I found a 1892 map in my Library today , On which I see what I think is the birthplace of my G grandaddy , towit: Lampershiem , as it is spelled today , This map showns ' Lampershm ' , So the question I put before you today is , Was it customary to not use the ' ei ' in town names on maps that long ago , OR is it now the accepted way to spell towns with an ei in it , Thanks , Phil
