Good Contextual Maps for Family History


by Jim Graupner
This map of Central Europe 1815-1871, is one of my favorites for the period of the major emigration periods from the German Confederation 1815-1866, the North German confederation 1860-1871, and the German Empire in 1871, proclaimed by Kaiser Wilhelm I. This map was the result of The Congress of Vienna 1815, which fundamentally described the boundaries of the European empires up until the First World War. Copyrited by The Century Co., 1932.
A series of maps from the geography textbook that both Norbert and Gertrude used at Dr. Martin Luther School in New Ulm will be presented in subsequent postings. The book is entitled: F. W. Putzgers Historischer Schul-Atlas: Grosse Ausgabe, Schutzformel fur die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika: Copyright by Velhagen & Klasing 1923.
