Lindy, I second your "ad" for Genealogy Unlimited/Interlink. I've been buying (still do) maps from them since before GU retired and sold to Interlink. FYI I was the impetus behind Interlink publishing the Index for the _Polska Atlas Drogowy_ numerous years ago which listed the old wojewo~dztwo of all the villages. I still think that's the best information to have when trying to locate ancestral villages. Debbie Lindy Kasperski wrote: > Thx for the compliment.
