Pam, where can we view the sample page of the map? I have been all over the Museum's web page and can't find it. Thanks, Sandy Williams ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

The image in the center (the yellowish one) is actually a small section cropped from the Wallings map. Click on it and it will take you to a second page where there are four small images arranged in a square. Again, click on the yellowish image that is in the lower right. That will produce a section of the Wallings Map that is at the same scale as the map on the CD. You may need to select the "+" sign "control" near the bottom of the web page window in order to zoom the map to full scale. NOTE: The COMPLETE map is on the CD whereas only the section around Frelighsburg is shown on the web site. (I do not know what source was used for the other maps shown on that page.) ----- Returning to the page where the four images were arranged in a square, below them are another two images. The one on the right is taken from a different part of the Wallings Map. Around the edge of the Wallings Map are inset images of many of the more significant settlements and that section of Frelighsburg is an example of such an inset. The majority of people we are researching in this region were farmers and lived in rural areas. None the less, some were living in the settlements, and if your ancestor is one of those you may be fortunate enough to find them in one of these "village" insets in the map. In that case, the much greater scale is such that you can pretty much pinpoint their location to an easily recognized location on a modern map such as Google. Also as in inset on the map is what appears to be a business directory. This has the names of many early settlers. I estimate there are a little over 600 names in the directory. If you have further questions about the map CD I will attempt to answer them but the CD itself is only available through the Museum. If the questions regard the map's origins or historical facts about it then Judy is the best person to ask.
