May 15 – Researching Family History – Geographical Resources
3:00-5:00pm
Resources such as maps, atlases, directories, gazetteers, and insurance plans can provide valuable information about your ancestors. Join us to learn how to find these geographic tools, how they can help in identifying where your ancestors lived, the migration routes they may have used, where records may be located when county boundaries change or towns seem to vanish and so much more.
