Presented by Sher Leetooze
60-Minute Presentation (All)
Attendees will have the opportunity to look at British OS (Ordnance Survey) maps and Canadian topographical maps. The presentation will include a few other types of maps which also hold good research information.
This session would be suitable for people who know where their ancestors lived. By knowing this, researchers can find out how their ancestors went to market, what their backyard (figuratively) looked like, and how to identify houses, farms, and village main streets on these maps. How near were they to the place where they worked? To the person they married?
Every researcher with British ancestry should have a parish map in their tool kit to plot the areas where all their ancestors lived in order to see their patterns of migration, and the like.
