Maps are essential when doing genealogical research. Maps can help determine: | |||
*Jurisdictions and boundaries | |||
*Geographical and physical features | |||
*Relationships between towns and counties | |||
Use many sources to locate a map closest to the time period your ancestor lived in a certain location. | |||
<br> | |||
Here are some references and web sites to assist you in locating maps. | |||
