Durham’s Nov. 4th Meeting - Ancestral Mapping Using Google Earth Pro
Please Join Durham Region Branch for our Tuesday, Nov. 4th virtual meeting at 7:30 pm as David Joiner demonstrates how he transformed a diary into a graphical presentation using Google Earth Pro.
Google Earth Pro is a free downloadable application with many useful features for genealogy and digital mapping. Participants will learn how to add informative placemarks and lines on a map, use polygons to highlight regions of interest, run automated tours of mapped points, include image overlays to give context to family history, access historical imagery to link family stories with land surface changes over time, and share and store mapped details. Case studies will include the presenter's paternal ancestry from Aberdeenshire and his maternal ancestry from Ireland.
David Joiner is a recently retired secondary school geography teacher with an interest in family history and expertise in geographic information systems (GIS).
Nov. 4th will also be our brief Annual General Meeting for the purpose of presenting a yearly report.
