Genealogy Series: Using Maps for Genealogical Research
Maps can be a rich resource for genealogical research. Not only do some maps show names of the property owners and help us confirm time and place, but they can also give depth and context to our ancestor’s lives at a local level. Join us for a look at some of our favorite collections, including the library’s new subscription to the Proquest Sanborn Maps collection.
