Land Ho! - Using BLM Government Land Office
records and Google Earth to find ancestor owned property, by Blythe Stokes
Land
Ho!
Bring your netbook, laptop, iPad or tablet loaded with
Google Earth to take full advantage of this talk. Even if you don’t
have a mobile device you will still learn how to incorporate Google Earth into
your family’s genealogy. After a quick overview of Google Earth, we will step
into to the past. Learn how to incorporate BLM/Government Land Record data into
Google Earth to view the location of your ancestor’s property. You will find
that Google Earth is a tremendous tool that you can put into your genealogy
toolbox. Best of all, it’s free!!
