Book Review: Walking with your ancestors
Summary: 3 Stars
As I enjoy genealogy, it is very enjoyable. The only problem for me is that when you are not searching in the USA, then we know it is similar but not ours. The book is well put together and gives us another path to follow when searching for family.
Summary of Walking with Your Ancestors
From locating an ancestor's homesite and where records might be kept to determining which route and roads forebears took when migrating from one area to another, maps are common tools in tracing family history. This book expands the reader's awareness of how maps and other geographic resources, such as atlases, gazetteers, and global positioning systems, will help them find their elusive ancestors.Readers will learn how to: -Find historic maps that will help them in their search
-Locate obscure towns and villages
-Determine shifting boundary changes that can affect their research
-Use maps and other geographic tools to find cemeteries and ancestral homesites
In addition, this book is filled with practical examples for using maps in genealogy. It's packed with map reproductions, giving readers easy-to-follow instruction on getting the most out of maps to aid them in the search for their ancestors.
