1. Find the town in the Master Index
Map Guides for regions that cover multiple volumes often include a Master Index, which spans all the volumes and indicates in which specific volume a town can be found.
For this example we have highlighted ‘Erlau,’ which can be found in the Württemberg - Jagstkreis volume.
This sample page is from the Württemberg - Hollenzollern volume (shown smaller than actual size). All of the towns for Württemberg are listed in the Master Index at the back of each Württemberg volume. Regions that do not span multiple volumes will not have a Master Index.
Because of the number of towns, master indexes within the three volumes for Rhineland and the nine volumes for Bavaria are not planned. Each of the three Rhineland volumes (Volumes 11-13) has its own index, while a master index to the nine Bavarian volumes (Volumes 14-22) is included in a sixth book of the series (Volume 23).
