The following options are available for searching the index of places mentioned in the Danubetrade databases: Any string of characters (place names or parts thereof) can be entered into the “search all” field. Please be aware that this method of searching is very unspecific and may yield an empty results list. Using the alphabetical option “place name begins with” will bring up a list of all place names beginning with the selected letter. Finally, you can also select a specific place from the alphabetical drop-down “list of place names”. Clicking the “search” button submits your query.
