Wright III, Ph.D., AG Printer-friendly version Learning Where Your Ancestors Lived Gazetteers and atlases can give you an idea of where your ancestors lived and which jurisdiction recorded events in their lives. Gazetteers often provide descriptions of towns and atlases help you understand your ancestral terrain. Hitting a black hole when it comes to finding information about your ancestors? At times researchers find their efforts stymied because they do not understand how various jurisdictions recorded the information. A jurisdiction is an area that falls under the authority of an agency or institution. Most of us apply to the state in which we live for a driver's license, but may register the deed to a newly purchased home with the county clerk. Non-government jurisdictions also recorded ancestors' lives. Forebears in a small village may have traveled several miles to a parish church for the christenings of children, marriages or burials. Their village may have had no church of its own, but was within the jurisdiction of a parish in a neighboring town. Learn the names of seats of jurisdictions that included the ancestral home town or village. Determine if archives or libraries in jurisdictional seats or state capitols have records that name persons who lived where your ancestors did.

Ask an Expert Family Finder First Name: Middle: Last: Maps in Family Research by Donna Przecha Printer-friendly version You Are Here Maps are an irreplaceable part of family history research, especially if you live far from the family homesteads. Donna Przecha offers advice on using both contemporary and historical maps, as well as some specialty types. One of the first special aids a beginning genealogist will want probably is a blank pedigree chart. The second might be a family group form. The third will most likely be a "good map." Chances are that you are not very familiar even with the area where your grandparents were born. You may know it is a small town near Peoria, IL but you probably don't know exactly where Peoria is in relation to Chicago (probably the only city in Illinois a non-Midwesterner can locate with any accuracy), etc. Your First Map If you are lucky, you will have either an encyclopedia, atlas or book of road maps that will show your town. If not, a trip to your local AAA Club (if you are a member) or your local bookstore will turn up a good contemporary road map This will prove satisfactory for a time, but you will soon come to realize that there are many different kinds of maps and all have their use in genealogy. One major difference is between a contemporary map (how things are today) and an historical map (how they were at a particular time in the past). Within these two divisions there are many different categories, and some maps show more than one type of information:

In genealogy, maps are most often used as clues to where public or other records about an ancestor are likely to be found. Searching for maps seldom begins until a newcomer to genealogy has mastered basic genealogical routines. Introductory books on genealogy suggest timesaving ways to plan, gather, organize, and record findings. To learn basic genealogical displines, it's best to start with the most concise, easy-to-read books, gazetteers, articles, pamphlets, and other sources that apply directly to the kind of reasearch you plan. Books on the shelves of your local library may not include ones that best serve your purpose. Yet, many local and all major libraries have the latest edition of Books in Print. Its subject guide gives the titles, authors, publishers, and prices of hundreds of books on genealogy. The books range from basic guidelines to special aspects of genealogy. Many libraries also have directories that give the names and addresses of local, State, regional, and national associations of genealogists, historians, and ethnic groups. One or more such groups may be able to help you find ways to deal with special aspects of your research. Many local libraries also have a copy of the pamphle Where to Write for Birth, Death, Divorce, and Marriage Records. If not, you can purchase a copy from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Before searching for maps, gather as many facts about family history and customs as possible You may then need old and new maps to help track down facts about a branch of your family.

Beers' Atlases on CD-ROM The Beers’ Atlases , published over several years around 1870, give genealogists the opportunity to walk down the streets of their ancestors’ home town. The amazingly detailed maps show schools, churches, cemeteries, streets, and topographical features of New York, Pennsylvania and New England counties and towns. In addition, each volume depicts businesses and homes, each carefully labeled with the owner’s names. Depending on the atlas, you can also find statistical information, engravings, town histories and biographies of prominent citizens. In the past, access to the rare atlases has been difficult; in part because of the rarity of complete copies. However, thanks to a project conceived by Theresa Percy, director of the Monson Free Library, the old Massachusetts atlases are being digitized in their entirety and placed on CD-ROM. . .
