    1. [ILSANGAM] Foreign Place Names
    2. Rose Hyde
    3. I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out the correct way to record foreign place names. I have ancestors from Germany, Prussia, Wurttenberg, Saxony, Lippe and so on - but it's my understanding that Prussia IS Germany; that Saxony can refer to Switzerland or Germany; Wurttenberg has so many different spellings, I'm not sure if they are ALL the same place or not; that Lippe was it's own country but is now considered a German state. Does anyone know of a website that might prove helpful? Thanks, Rose
