New online: Meyer's German Gazetteer now online, indexed and fully searchable! If you are seeking a geographical place in the old German Empire (1871-1918), check out the "Meyers Orts- und Verkehrs-lexikon des Deutschen Reichs." This resource will give you location of the village, state, civil registry office, and parish (if the town had one), as well as other useful information. The original book is in German, but this interface is translated into English. See: http://www.meyersgaz.org
