There was nothing at /usr/share/keymaps however the help section for 
xkbd says that the files should be in /etc/X11/xkb/rules/.  There were 
several files in there that were named xorg.xml, xorg-it.lst and 
xorg.lst. I copied them and renamed them xfree86.xml xfree86-it.lst and 
xfree86.lst.

Going back to control center I discovered a list of keyboards, layouts 
and other choices available on the keyboard layout panels.
