New: historical place-name dictionary
We have launched a public Historical Place-Name Dictionary. Search for a modern or former name and optionally enter a year to see variants used in that period, the historical region, and former jurisdiction. The dictionary helps identify places recorded under different names in vital records, censuses, military papers, and family documents. It also makes it easier to compare Polish, German, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, and other variants and open the correct location in OpenStreetMap.
