Maps of Schleswig-Holstein


Here you can find several historical maps of Schleswig-Holstein, useful for both German and Danish research. 
The dates of the maps are critical as this area changed hands between Germany/Prussia and Denmark more times than I can keep up with, so the borders will be different over the years.

Do you have German ancestors from the former Prussian province of Posen? The Poznan Project has an excellent database of marriages in the former province (now Poznan in Poland).  It is easy to use, and has been a great help to me. http://poznan-project.psnc.pl/project.php http://poznan-project.psnc.pl/project.php poznan-project.psnc.pl
