I thought it was okay to talk about any of the add on programs that Legacy sells so....
I use AniMap all the time. Yes, you can consult the Redbook or the Handybook to see when a county was formed from what parent county BUT in Animap you can plot specific places (more than one at a time) and see where they are in relation to these boundary changes. For example, a town might be right near the border of another county in 1863 so you know that you need to check the adjacent county. Most people would travel to the point that was easiest to get to do their business. It might not be in the county that they lived. You can link families in different counties because you can see that they actually lived quite close to each other. You can overlay a modern map over the top. It also show a lot of things other than towns, like cemeteries and churches. AND, you can plot by lat/long :) Michele -----Original Message----- From: Barbara [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 7:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] AniMap While I like the concept of AniMap and I have a copy, I'm having difficulty understanding just how to use it.
