Subject: Re: Places in Czech Republic and Ukraine or Russia <fwd>

After the message of Peter Clark (Jan. 25, 1999) I can include the following
WASILEWO (BALKANTSI), N 43 36/ E 28 10, Bulgaria, 252.4 miles ENE of Sofiya
WASSILEWO (PRELOM), N 43 04 / N 24 51, Bulgaria, 82.0 miles ENE of Sofiya
All toponyms were search through ShtetlSeeker (http://www1.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm) which is also available with a lot of other gazetteers through "Odden's Bookmarks, the fascinating world of maps and mapping" (http://kartoserver.frw.ruu.nl/html/staff/oddens/gazett.htm).
When double-clicked on the co-ordinates a location of the toponym is produced.
With kind regards,
