I love the idea of using the Sandborn maps. Several of my ancestors' homes were caught up in the urban renewal craze so nothing is there except buildings and concrete. I know so many people think genealogy is about dates and names. There is so much more. Great article!

Love this! My family was heavily affected by the year of no summer 1816 when they moved from Ohio to Illinois. I have all of the details of their journey but no photos of course. What a great way to illustrate the year in paintings of red sunsets. I'm stealing this idea!
