Here is a wonderful site to find old maps and it shows you the changing country lines for the years.

Between being recorded ashaving registered in Vienna in 1766, appearing in the Sackelhausen FB, and showing up with a family in Charlevillewith a firstborn Clara in 1775, there are no records of Mathias' marriage; so Icannot verify the maiden name of his wife. Perhaps he moved from Sackelhausento a different village before moving to Charleville, and that is where themarriage records exist. Unfortunately, all the Family Books are arranged byvillage, so without a village name, it is much more difficult to hunt down therecords. DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION HOW TO SEARCH IF THE VILLAGE NAME IS NOT KNOWN? ALTERNATIVELY, IS THERE A MAP SHOWING THE LAYOUT OF VILLAGES SO I CAN MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO FIND A VILLAGE BETWEEN SACKELHAUSEN AND CHARLEVILLE?
Thank you so much!
