An interesting site for historic maps was sent me from another mailing list. Over 6000 maps are now available for viewing at the David Rumsey collection. Several thousand of them are for Boston and San Francisco and a thousand more are as quoted below. If your ancestors emigrated thru these ports, you may want to take a look at this site. http://www.davidrumsey.com/ For your enjoyment, Ashley Highlights from 1012 New Maps added to the David Rumsey Collection, December 15, 2001. All titles may be found by searching under Search/by Publication Author using the author last names below. Commercial, Topographical, and Statistical Atlas of the United States, 1874 Asher and Adams 41 Maps, most complete edition. This was one of the first United States atlases to exclusively feature railroad lines, showing minimal topography and only showing towns on or next to railroads. Map Of The Pacific States, 1867 Bancroft, H.H.; Knight, W.H. Second edition. Highly detailed wall map of the Western United States just after the Civil War. Atlas of the Oil Regions of Pennsylvania, 1865 Beers, F. W. 54 maps, views, and advertisements. The only atlas made of the oil regions in Pennsylvania when oil was first discovered. The advertisements offer a look at the various companies involved in the early oil business. Atlas of New York and Vicinity, 1868 Beers, F. W. 53 maps and views. Detailed maps of New York, Westchester, and Putnam counties. New Universal Atlas, 1808 Cary, John 60 maps. One of the best world atlases of its time, and a source for American map makers. Topographical and Geological Atlas, High Plateaus of Utah, 1879 Dutton, Clarence E. 8 maps, views, and diagrams. Detailed atlas of Utah early in its development. Neptune des Cotes Occidentales d'Amerique sur le Grand Ocean, 1828 France. Depot-general de la Marine 35 charts. This volume 7 of Neptune Francois forms an extensive atlas of charts of the western coasts of North and South America. Atlas Spheroidal et Universel de Geographie, 1862 Garnier, F. A. 63 maps. This atlas is exceptional for its "spheroidal" maps of the globe, showing the various continents and poles, shaded to give the effect of a sphere floating in space. New General Atlas, 1830 Hall, Sydney 53 maps. Finely engraved and colored world atlas, with very up to date maps (for its time) of North and South America. Report upon the Colorado River of the West, 1861 Ives, J.C. 5 maps and illustrations. One of the earliest reports of exploration of the Colorado River in the area of the Grand Canyon. This is the scarce Senate issue with four maps by "Baron" Egloffstein. Egloffstein used a unique engraving process to achieve a superb rendering of topographical features. Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, 1861 Johnston, Alexander Keith 48 maps, first edition. This atlas was one of the best world atlases published in England in the second half of the 19th century. Grosser Hand-Atlas uber alle Theile der Erde, 1860 Meyer, Joseph 168 maps. With 50 maps of the Americas and many detailed maps of world cities. Meyer's finest atlas, and an excellent example of 19th century German commercial cartography. North American Atlas, 1845 Morse, Sidney E. 36 maps. The first Cerographic Atlas of the United States, using a new printing process that greatly reduced the cost of the atlas to the public, making this one of the first popular and cheap atlases produced in the United States. Atlas Accompanying the Report on the Geology of New Hampshire, 1878 New Hampshire. Geological Survey; Hitchcock, Charles H. 17 maps and views. The only large folio Geological Atlas made of an eastern state, on the scale of the western survey atlases of Powell, Hayden, Wheeler and King. Historical Atlas Map of Alameda County, California, 1878 Thompson & West 109 maps and views. Impressive maps and views of Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley and other more obscure parts of Alameda County. Historical Atlas Map of Solano County, California, 1878 Thompson & West 30 maps and views. This is the scarcest of Thompson & West's California county atlases. Historical Atlas Map of Santa Clara County, California, 1876 Thompson & West 75 maps and views. The first atlas made of a California county. Atlas Universel de Geographie, Quatrieme partie. - Amer. Sept., 1827 Vandermaelen, Philippe 78 maps. These maps comprise volume 5, North America, of Vandermaelen's Atlas Universel, here issued as separate, unbound sheets. This monumental work was the first atlas of the world with all maps on the same scale, and an early example of a lithographed atlas. Two composite images were made of the western and eastern U.S. map sheets joined together. --

Does anyone know where I can find a translation service or website for English<-->Slovene, preferrably free? Or is there a site out there that has sample form letters in Slovene to parishes, relatives, etc.? Thanks! Erica ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! ------

I have recently received info about my Slovene relatives in the old country. But not much more. I am not entirely sure which of these persons are men and which are women.

I'm looking for the Banovec,Banovetz family name. They were from Crhomelj, Slovenia formally Austria. I would be interested to hear from someone with that name. Katherine

According to information I got from my uncle, my g-g-mothers surname was Maligaj. I did not find this surname on the Slovenian or Croatian phone book (she lived in Brezice, Slovenia which is near the Croatian border). The only similar name I found was Malgaj, without the "i" in the middle, but I don't think it is the name my uncle meant. Has anyone heard of this surname before?

Could anyone decipher the following? THey are notes on a back of photos. I can read the names of course. I have placed the letter "h" in parenthesis to show the little mark above the letter because I know that letter has the sound of for instance sh or zh. I also have a 2 page handwritten letter. I'd be happy to pay someone to translate it. I haven't had any luck with scanning it. It is in blue ink. Would I be able to type it as I did the following and have someone translate it. Thanks. We're having a reunion in 2 weeks and I'm frantic to get the letter and back of the photos transcribed before then. Phyllis Druz(h)ina Karner Praznovali smo oc(h)ctov god leta 1971.

I'm researching my great grandparents John Spehar and Katie Zagar. Both came from Vinica in Slovenia and settled in Pittsburgh, PA. John arrived in America in 1889. A brother George arrived in 1897. Katie Zagar arrived in 1899 and married John a few months later. Henry Stoken-Cleveland, Ohio

a very helpful way to find the different certificates in slovenia ist to know where to look for them - as a help for austrian family-researcers, since all the village's names changed after WWI, a (i think) 2 volume-book was edited on all the slovene parishes and its "stock" on birth/christening-, weddings-, death-books. content: which volumes (with the years indicated) are still available (some dissappeared, were destroyed) - and where to find them, in the village (parish,...) or in the diocesan-archives (ljublijana, maribor,...) there is also an german-slovene-index of the villages/towns.... i used this helpful book once (an edition exists in the roman-catholic diocesan-archive of graz, austria) you can see immediately where to find which volumes of a parish in slovenia - and in the archive i had just to tell them the reason of my research and to compile a form, of course i had to make an appointment because they were limited with tables/chairs. regards, georg [email protected] wrote: > ATTACHMENT part 1 message/rfc822 SLOVENIA-D Digest Volume 02 : Issue 44 Today's Topics: #1 Vinko Slopsek [[email protected] (Connie)] #2 Thanks to Puz!
