Old German maps

I have a new computer and lost many of my old bookmarks. I am looking for a site that will help me find a German city on an old map. Does anyone know of such a site? I know that I use to have one. In a US Census, it says that my great-grandparents came from Raynbie. All other censuses say Germany. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what Raynbie could be?

Hi Barb,

Maybe ´Rainbek´ close to Hamburg.

Look here: http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/deu/dyn/controller/mapPerformPage?strLocation=Reinbek&strCountry=eur&google=1

Barb,
The e-mail address to search for towns in Germany is geo@genealogy.net
Do not enter a subject. Enter only the name of the town or city in the body of the message, no other words.
I believe this works only with current town names. The answer will include town name, Kreis (County) and German state, map coordinates and population

Hello Bob,

I have an old map of Oldenburg in my computer. If you like I can scan the image to you.
