SUMMARY:Mapping Alchemy for Genealogists
DESCRIPTION:Maps help us navigate – and that’s equally true in our family history research. In this session, prepare to be persuaded that maps really are genealogical gold!\nFocusing on Sophie’s Outlier Method and Ancestral Walks techniques, we’ll unite historical maps with historical records in order to spot research errors, separate out namesakes, understand our ancestors and bring their worlds to life, all using freely available Ordnance Survey maps. Examples will focus on UK towns for the period 1800-1950 but these methods can be applied to any place or era where suitable maps and address data are available.\nThis talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society and we request a donation of £5 from non-members. Pre-booking is required because the meeting link will be e-mailed in advance. Booking ends one day before the event. \nTo join this meeting you will need a computer device which has a microphone and speakers. Ideally, also a webcam.  You also need to be able to access e-mails from this device. First time users will be asked to download a small piece of software to join the meeting. The meeting link will be e-mailed to you in advance.  Technical help is available for those who need further assistance, please contact booking@berksfhs.org.uk ( mailto:booking@berksfhs.org.uk ) .\n
