 === Topographical Maps On Line  ===
-Two sets of good topographical maps covering Poland are available on line.  You will have to know the location of your village before you can use them OR they can be very useful for manually searching for a village if you cannot find it indexed anywhere yet you know it to be close to another main town.

 [http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm Austrian Series] at 1:200,000 scale; 1910 era

-Tip:  When you open these maps, standard magnification is generally not readable and the normal increase in magnification with the browser makes them difficult to use.  Once you find the one you want, right click on the image and download it to your computer.  Then use your image viewing program to open it and set the magnification level at whatever best suits your needs.
