The following is a press release from TheGenealogist:
TheGenealogist has been praised for its innovative tools that allow you to discover exactly where your ancestors lived, using Map Explorer
Home of Joseph Chamberlain (father of the WW2 prime minister) found on the 1891 census in Map Explorer
Census pins identify properties on Map Explorer
Image Archive records located on Map Explorer
From today, a significant number of databases including the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census, plus TheGenealogist’s Image Archive pictures and along with the Domesday Book 1086, are now available with pins on georeferenced maps in Map Explorer
This interface will place a pin on the house using historical data to identify its location where possible or if not, the street or parish on an appropriate map of the area connected to the record. As this resource makes use of a number of historical and modern maps matching the same precise coordinates, Starter & Gold subscribers are in a much better position to see where their ancestors had once lived even if the area has now changed.
To find out what’s included in the discounted Starter and Gold subscriptions go to www.thegenealogist.co.uk/PRTGAUG22
