Thanks Bill! I have to say that I've been doing this stuff online for years and much longer pre-computer. A _lot_ of what I learn(ed) came from reading every single (except recipes) post to Polish genealogy lists (2-3). I think it is counter productive to just watch for subjects with my ancestral villages or surnames. The way to learn about how to and where to, (aside from reading books) is by reading the answers and suggestions of more experienced people. A lot of people have the same basic experiences, problems and brick walls. The internet has certainly changed the way we research and the length of time it takes to find information. But, that certainly doesn't mean the internet holds all of the documents. In fact it holds very little in that regard.

The problem is determining which ones you want from (literally) thousands of others. There are some finding aids, but you'd probably have to visit Washington and spend some time here to pick out what you need. > > Bill Sheleski > > > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 09:57:37 +0100 > From: Rivka Schirman <[email protected]> > Subject: [POLAND] loking for detailed maps > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; delsp=yes; format=flowed > > Hello, > > For my PhD disseration I am looking for a detailed map of the partition of Poland between the USSR and Nazi Germany in September 1939. By detailed I mean showing a maximum of specific towns and villages on both sides of the border, not just a general line.
