Maps can help you find where your ancestors lived. There are many types of maps. Each can help you in a different way. Historical maps describe economic growth and development, boundaries, migration and settlement patterns, military campaigns, transportation development, effects of plagues, and other historical information. Road maps provide details on highways, rivers, and town size. Other types include parish maps, county maps, topographical maps, enclosure maps, civil district maps, and church diocesan maps. | Maps can help you find where your ancestors lived.

You may find maps in gazetteers, guidebooks, local histories, directories, or history texts. | Maps are published separately or in bound collections, called atlases.
