Looked it up.

The flag would have had 31 stars after California joined in 1850, until Minnesota joined in 1858.

The flag would have had 47 stars for just over a month, after New Mexico joined in January 1912, until Arizona joined in February 1912.

So, where are images of those flags? Well, here's a kind of list: http://www.geobop.com/Symbols/world/...ag/1/index.htm. They'd probably just tack on a single star for Puerto Rico, but AZ?? That'd be more than one state, as would be Canada! Just keep their current internal states as "states", I figure.
