That is the sort of information that it's nice to know about. I would
certainly like to add links to accurate information where that is
available, so any pointers are appreciated

Another useful link - From my own point of view it has added a couple of
very good historic map sites - Thanks!

This starts to highlight the other problem for those of us
linguistically challenged. Will the INTL team please move on to the
universal translator after they agree on how to manage the character
differences ;)

Claudio - do you have any lists of South American information that would
be useful? Bearing in mind that the character set problems have already
surfaced with just the German information :(
This is becoming a nice test bed for those sorts of problem.
