"Google Earth, GPS & Mapping for Genealogists"

Put the power of Google Earth to work and view your genealogy in a new way. Learn to mark and map the sites of cemeteries, historic buildings, and other features that no longer exist. View your ancestors’ communities on historic maps and land plat maps overlaid on modern maps. See a demonstration of how Google Earth can solve research problems

Learn how Global Positioning System technology and inexpensive GPS devices can help you solve genealogical research problems. Then learn how to find and visit historic sites View case studies of GPS in action.

See what can be done with Historical and Topographical Maps and where to find them. From Lewis and Clark to the Corps of Topographic Engineers to mapping in support of the railroads, records have been generated that will aid genealogists. Learn about these records and how to find them. Learn about the many sites that are free for you to download.

Learn to combine these three "super tools" of Google Earth, GPS, and Mapping to supercharge your genealogical research.  Learn to “fly” to ancestral sites and how to combine your research, heritage trips, and the internet into an exciting way to share your genealogy research with family members.
