Computer Programs for Drawing Plat Maps

Deed Map

The aim of Deed Mapper is to provide a relationship map between the parties of legal documents, the properties they relate to and the families that owned them over time. Deeds are often an overlooked resource by family historians. Written in what might seem impenetrable legal language to the researcher and using terms that are unfamiliar in modern usage. This is a mistake as they often provide the framework for putting together family, social and business relationships. They link property to people through business transactions. This “Deed Map” application is built using an Open Source tool TiddlyWiki and a key component TiddlyMap which provides a graphical representation of the relationships.

Map Your U.S. Research: A Workbook for Genealogists

By Dina C. Carson. This workbook is intended to help facilitate your locations-based research in the United States. Use the maps to see which counties you are researching at-a-glance. Then use the research notes pages to create a workable research plan. Take this handy workbook with you when you research as a reminder that county boundaries have changed over time. Even if your ancestors stayed in the same place, the county boundaries may have changed around them. Each state includes a list of all of the modern counties with their formation dates, the counties each was formed from, and the counties that were created from them. Often it is not a matter of whether there are records for your family, but discovering where they exist.
