Indonesia GazetteersEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Gazetteers are dictionaries of place names that describe towns and villages, parishes, districts, rivers and mountains, population size, and other geographical features. Additional information may include major manufacturing works, canals, docks, railroad stations, and postal stations. Gazetteers usually include only the names of places that existed at the time of publication. The place names are generally listed in alphabetical order, similar to a dictionary.
You can use gazetteers to identify the places where your family lived and to determine the civil and church jurisdictions of those places.
There are several gazetteers listed in the Family History Library. Go to Place search and type in:
