Where Did My Family Live? Finding Your Family on a Census Enumerator Map

Description

With many genealogy resources to find family members, searching for your family can be a difficult road. A helpful resource to add to your research toolbox are enumeration maps, which census takers used to mark households visited. In this workshop, learn to search enumerator maps to find your family home location, which could help you discover additional family members, write family history, and add facts to your family story. These maps are available from the National Archives where these documents are stored after a census.

This workshop will require some information about your family to use during the class.

Have you found your family on one or more censuses?

What do you know about where they lived over the years?
