Saturday, 26 October 2024, 1 PM - Using US Maps in Genealogical Research Suzanne Young Brayer Maps are one of the great resources for finding clues about the lives and life styles of our ancestors. Maps can provide an amazing array of information about our ancestors. Maps can show us when and where boundaries changed, help to recreate a community, plot migration routes, and aid in visualizing a view of the community. This class will look at the many available maps old and new to help pinpoint your ancestors. Atlases, historical maps, military maps, fire insurance maps are all terrific sources. We will discover how to find them and use them. Suzanne Young Brayer is an educator, historical researcher and avid genealogist. She graduated BA and MA in history and education from Arizona State University. Her fascination with history was a natural segue into the field of family history. From Mayflower ancestors to Quakers to Revolutionary War patriots to 19th century German immigrants and a few criminals along the way, she, like most of us, represents the “melting pot” of American culture. She has taught genealogy classes and spoken to numerous groups throughout Arizona and the West. She is a lecturer, teacher and genealogist with over 35 years experience. This is a hybrid meeting with Suzanne Young Brayer joining us at 1001 Ruth Street Prescott, or join from home via ZOOM.
