Maps are critical for German genealogy research.  The place to begin is with Meyers Orts- und Verkehrs-Lexikon des deutschen Reiches, known as the Meyers Gazetteer.  We will examine the original work published in the early 1900s and the valuable online resources available for use today for the non-German speaker.
