I have 3 for the US and they all differ in content. Some are better than others. Hope this helps someone, Gretchen When in doubt I try the following: FOR THE US: _http://geonames.usgs.gov/_ (http://geonames.usgs.gov/) _Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)_ (http://geonames.usgs.gov/) FOR OTHER COUNTRIES: NOTE.....I use one or more of the following which give me more trouble but it's because being from the United States I'm not that familiar with how the name might have been originally written or is now!! Trust me......I have about a dozen other sites for countries other than the US.....I use them all. If one doesn't help me I try another. Eventually I usually find what I'm looking for. _http://www.world-gazetteer.com/_ (http://www.world-gazetteer.com/) _World Gazetteer: World Gazetteer home_ (http://www.world-gazetteer.com/) --------------------- _http://www.p.lodz.pl/I35/personal/jw37/EUROPE/europe.html#Z_ (http://www.p.lodz.pl/I35/personal/jw37/EUROPE/europe.html#Z) _Place Names of Europe_ (http://www.p.lodz.pl/I35/personal/jw37/EUROPE/europe.html#Z) ------------------- _http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/_ (http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/) _The JewishGen ShtetlSeeker_ (http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/) ------------------ _http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/namerica/usstates/nv.htm_ (http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/namerica/usstates/nv.htm) _nevada map and information page_ (http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/namerica/usstates/nv.htm) As they would say in "The King and I" etc., etc. etc.
