The Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. presents
“Map Magic for Genealogists” with Sara E. Campbell

Learning more about the places our ancestors lived can help put their lives in perspective. Correlating maps with other records of the time period helps us find details that might not have been uncovered otherwise. We will talk about the history of map-making, categories of maps that can be used in our research, and where to find the historic maps. Recent trends in digitation have made historic maps easier to access, but we still need to dig into our repositories. We will take a deep dive into some local maps, and talk about how to look beyond the obvious sources.
