I am going through a bunch of stamps for The Holocaust Stamps Project to find postmarks that can be cross-referenced against important precursors to, or events during, The Holocaust for my educational initiative.
Some are quite difficult as there are just snippets of the middle or ending letters - and some are no longer in the countries of the stamps they are on (e.g. Austrian towns/regions given to other countries after WWI).
Wikipedia lists towns by population but I need something sorted alphabetically - preferably with a search function where I can use letters and "wildcards".
Any help finding a link would be much appreciated.
Many thanks, David.

Some Wikipedia articles have tables that can be sorted - look for the little triangles next to the column titles. You could also copy the tables into spreadsheets and use the data sort function.
http://www.geonames.org/ may also help when searching for place names.
You could also post images of the postmarks in question - sometimes it is possible to identify the place.
