[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] new database and city map

[Günther Böhm]

Hello list members,
recently, I found a large database of more than 100.000 Persons 
emigrated to the pre-revolutionary Russia and their descendants. It 
covers the population of Sankt Petersburg, Moscow and some other greater 
cities (no Volhynian villagers) but might anyway be of interest for some 
of our members. It ist the Amburger-Archiv of the "Osteuropa-Institut", 
Munich University, www.lrz-muenchen.de/~oeihist/amburger.htm . I found 
lots of relatives and their friends who lived in Sankt Petersburg in the 
early 19th century. The mere list of persons and their code numbers is 
in German, English and Russian, to be found at 
www.lrz-muenchen.de/~oeihist/abfrag~1.htm .

Secondly, there is a new (?) and amazing detailed Russian atlas of city 
maps (I tested Moscow and Sankt Petersburg) which provides every house 
number and even the real building outlines at http://mirkart.ru/ .
