Hello Listers, I have an old photograph dated about 1880. The photograph is
stamped 'L. Basilius, Bromberg Danzigerstr. 7, Posen Berlinerstr. 7 and Thorn
Mauerstr. 463'. I can find Posen, not Bromberg or Thorn using GEOserv. Can
someone find Bromberg and Thorn for me?
Thank you, Alan Rossing, Monterey, California, USA

I use

or
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/main.adp?country=DE


I used mapquest to get maps on all my villages from the old country.
It went very nice.
Good luck

I come across this very often where an old Prussian (German speaking)
can't be found, mainly cause the Prussian town is now found in Poland.

Bromberg is now named Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Thorn is now called Torun

Good day.
