Maps

Maps offer a unique perspective in genealogy research, providing a visual context to the lives of ancestors. They can reveal historical boundaries, migration patterns, and the proximity of key locations such as churches, cemeteries, and homesteads. By studying old maps, genealogists can trace changes in place names and land ownership, uncovering lost details that enhance family stories and may lead to new records. In essence, maps bridge the gap between past landscapes and present understanding, grounding your family history in the very soil they once walked.
