Ancestry Quick Tip Mapping Out Ancestral Homes and Burial Sites On a recent trip, my mother was telling my kids about the several homes she had lived in while growing up. When I mentioned that I knew only some of the street names, and realizing that I would never be able to find any of these places without her assistance, I asked her to map out the location of each home. This brought up the fact that many of the buildings no longer exist, which prompted my request for mapping their location on vintage maps. My hopes are that even after my parents pass away, these places will remain tangible parts of my family. Similarly, I have also asked for the gravesites for my grandparents and other relatives to be mapped out. My family came from the D.C. area, and I have a good idea where my maternal grandparents are in Arlington National Cemetery, but I have no clue about my paternal grandparents and the numerous extended family members that are buried in the D.C. area. In fact, on a recent visit, we called home from the cemetery on the cell phone to receive walking directions to my great-grandfather's tombstone! Maps would make it easier for me, and those who come after, to find our family. Randy Grunwell Suwanee, Georgia
