In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine,
they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research
plan.
December 4 – Find historical maps of your ancestor’s
hometowns using Map History www.maphistory.info
and the David Rumsey Map collection www.davidrumsey.com
The first link looks like it is a jumping point to other websites, however, the second link I found a plat map from 1890 for Fountain Prairie Township, Columbia County, Wisconsin and I found many relatives listed on this plat map.
When I looked for Doylestown, Columbia County, Wisconsin I
saw a cemetery on the map that wasn’t the church cemetery that I know many of
my relatives are buried in. I remember a small cemetery in the town with a few
people buried in it, and wonder if this is the cemetery that is on this old
map.
Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
