I hoping someone can help me find a site I visited several years ago. My pc crashed and I lost all my links. The site has maps of the development of canals and railroads, I think, Dated back in the 1800's. They can be viewed on individual pages Or there is an automated viewing showing the development over the years. I would appreciate any assistance. I've run out of ideas to search. Marge

Marge, I didn't have anything bookmarked like this but I do have a reference book, _Historical Atlas of East Central Europe_ by Paul Robert Magocsi, you'll find at least one canal and railway map showing development between 1850 and 1914 (WWI). The first railroads didn't appear in Europe until the 1840s. There appears to have been a quite few railway lines even before 1881.

Marge ********************************* I'm answering my own posting. This is for Debbie Greenlee also. I found the site. http://iegmaps.de/enter.htm It is in German but if you click on the link for eisenbahn You will get a list of dates; click on each one and you Will get a map of railroad development for that year. One of these links is also for canals - same procedure. Have fun exploring the other links too. These maps are helpful when trying to figure out how your Ancestors got to the ports to come to the US. Enjoy Marge
