Mapping Your Migrating Ancestors

Mapping Your Migrating Ancestors

Speaker: Tina Beaird

Tina will discuss the usefulness of different types of maps including aerial and birdseye maps as well as cadastral, enumeration, and fire insurance maps. She will give suggestions on how to trace your ancestors using land records available through multiple government agencies such as local and county tax assessors, county clerks, circuit court offices, and land use departments. Tina will also provide suggestions on how to track resources using non-governmental sources like libraries, archives, and historical societies.

This program is co-sponsored with the Wilmette Public Library.
