Ed, I know exactly what you would like to see. It would be a very helpful tool indeed. I haven't seen anything like this put together for Tennessee so far; however, it can be done. You might find these web sites interesting: 1. Evolution of United States County Boundaries url: http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/Animation/us.html It has a link to an animated gif file that shows very well what can be done using the 'AniMap' software available from GoldBug - I have no affiliation/experience with this software. The link for the gif is url: http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/Animation/us.gif 2. Info. regarding the 'AniMap' software is at url: http://www.goldbug.com/AniMap.html 3. The Illinois GenWeb site has the following link: Illinois County Boundaries 1790 - Present url: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcumber/ilctybnd/ This, i presume, is exactly what you would like to see for Tennessee. Sorry that these items may be more interesting than immediately useful. Perhaps someone with the right skills could take on this project. For what it's worth, I found out that the Houston Public Library Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research has the AniMap CD-ROM in its collection. I've never gone there to try it out. You might find it available in a major library in your area. Good luck in your quest, Bill Troutt Katy, TX - researching TROUT (families of Joseph and Adam) in Wilson Co.
