    "Historical Maps Available for Family Genealogists
    This letter is sent in order to inform you that we have Austria- Hungary and other maps showing villages in Central and Eastern Europe, including the area of Pod-Karpatska Rus  that the ancestors of many of us once inhabited.  Copies  are available to the public either free of charge or at a nominal cost.  This should be of special interest to your readers who are doing genealogical research. Those interested are urged to write or e-mail including the names of the villages from which their ancestors emigrated. Any accompanying information, such as what country the village presently lies in, would also be helpful.  We will  then do our best to provide copies of maps to them.

    Mailing address: Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress, Washington, DC  20540; Attn: Dr. Stephen Paczolt
    E-mail address: maps@loc.gov
    Please remember to include your home mailing address in e-mail inquiries."
