The session is to show the variety of different maps available for Bessarabia and Moldova. What can be found at the Old Russian maps? Where can we get a local map for a town, shteitle with houses numbers and possible Surnames of the families living in that house? What maps are available at Library of Congress for Bessarabia/Moldova? The oldest found map for the Bessarabia (part of Russian Empire) was created in 1821 and it is great to find localities were our ancestors lived. The Russian Military Topographic map of 1846-1863 includes information on surroundings of the local. It may show the Jewish Cemetery in or close to the place, and more. The German maps of 1930 give number of Jews (and other nationalities) living in locality. They also mark Jewish Colonies. What type of town, shteitle maps are available on our website, other places online, including Russian Internet.
