Good point, Carl. That's where I started. I found placing the plots on the modern map myself to be very painful. This map book is about $30, but if you have several early families, you'll see them jump right off the page, where a brother and 2 brothers-in-law are right next to each other with their parents one block away. It will also explain the different ways people got land. In other words, it's a great lazy tool for something that you could do yourself. Rae Williams www.grannyandpopacaldwell.com
