I read with interest the information I receive from PS Roots, however, there is not enough notice of special meetings, projects, etc. for plans to be made to attend. I live some distance from Seattle. I received this message today and of course there is no time to attend. I am interested in what I've read on the program Animap 2.0. I am continually being frustrated by counties changing. For instance, a particular county in Pennsylvania in which I have ancestors has changed size, name, etc. several times before 1790. Therefore, this program may be a help so I would appreciate some information. Thank you so much.
