The Year Ahead – December 4

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!
