Old Maps of Poland and Germany

We have scanned a few of the maps in our rather large collection of maps of present day Poland, which might be of use to those researching family history. These maps focus on the areas in which we normally carry out research into genealogy. Our particular interest is in the western part of present-day Poland - Lubuskie, Wielkopolskie, Dolnoslaskie and Zachodniopomorskie. These areas were in the main, formerly part of Germany, and were historically known as Brandenburg, Neumark, Pomerania, Posen / Greater Poland,  Silesia, and West Prussia. Major cities include Posen (Poznan), Stettin (Szczecin), Breslaw (Wroclaw), Grunberg (Zielona Gora), Schneidemuhl (Pila), and Landsberg (Gorzow). These maps are completely free, but because the file size is very large they may take some time to download! You can also have more detailed, difficult to find old maps of Poland on CD mailed to your home or office for only $ 10.
