If I'm reading your message correctly - the Congressional Township Maps would be the same township name even if a county changed boundaries or was newly formed over the years, which many did. Would certainly make a difference for very early ancestors! In the photocopy you receive from the library - is there enough area covered to pinpoint the township location as it relates to surrounding counties for instance? Thanks for the info - L. Livers
