Hello, AUDREY ~ I have lottsa maps of the Europe and the German Empire, some older than 1892. If you'd like, I could e-mail them as attachments to your e-mail address or you could do websearches for maps. Mine came from visting many different sites and though I kept notes on the maps themselves, I don't remember what sites they came from. According to US copyright laws, maps this old are in the public domain. (If you want to use a map on a website or something, that was created by someone in more recent times, it would be a great idea to get their permission first to avoid any embarrassment and ask how they would like you to cite the map.) Yours, Julia "----Original Message Follows---- thank you for all the help in finding RITTBERG I went to the Seattle main library and found the Myers orts book and the Myers book that shows the old German alphabet The earliest map of Prussia was 1892.
