Years ago, I used a service of Arthur Teschler called GEO. One could e-email the name of a town to him and get an automated response given the location of the town.
Does anyone know if that is still functioning?

Hello
I am looking for a town called Woffensen or Woffersen possibly in the Kingdom of Hannover. I have a family member born in 1890. Some family records say she was born in Germany and some say Hannover. I found the application for her husband's passport on Ancestry and the place of her birth written on the application appears to be Woffensen. or Woffersen. I would appreciate any help in locating this town.
Thank you sincerely.

Hi Mona,
yes, GEO is still alive but it's not supported anymore.
more info can be found here
English version: <http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/GeoServ>

GEO only covers the area of the former Bundesrepublik - pre 1989.
Hope this helps

Don't know about that resource but you could try www.fallingrain.com
