[http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp ShtetlSeeker] is a major search resource for place names throughout eastern Europe.

Keep in mind that not all the results will be of value. A soundex result is not intended to provide sounds-like results. You have to be judicious in selecting the correct place from the display page. | [http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp ShtetlSeeker] is a major search resource for place names throughout eastern Europe.
