In just the last few years, researchers in Germanic family history have been learning about the great
utility and value of reverse alphabetical indexes. To date, 14 volumes, each geared to a specific area of the Second
German Empire, have been published by GRT Publications. For the first time, a similar |
collection of indexes is available
on CD-ROM. This tool for the identification of correct place name spellings offers four search options:
(1) Alphabetical Indexes: For all of Switzerland or by canton, search for a specific set of letters in the standard
alphabetical order. (2) Reverse alphabetical indexes: For all of Switzerland or by canton, search for a specific set of letters
at the end of a place name. (3) Interior searches: For all of Switzerland or by canton, search for any combination of consecutive letters
(such as -berg-) in any position of the place name. (4) Parish affiliation search: Determine the parish to which any given town in Switzerland belongs.
This CD-ROM is compatible with any PC Windows browser. The program is completely bilingual, so that users who read both
German and English can enjoy the search options. Instructions for the use of the reverse alphabetical indexes are provided, as is a map of the cantons of Switzerland. Any
researcher with a desktop or a laptop computer featuring a CD-ROM drive can now perform these searches in seconds and solve the mysteries
of spellngs for place names in Switzerland.
