"The families, communities, and world in which your ancestors lived
influenced their lives, just as you are influenced by the world around
you. Understanding the geography associated with an ancestor’s life may
help you understand some of their decisions and give insights into where
to look for additional information on the individual. Likewise, knowing
the people, events, history, commerce, and other information about the
community in which your ancestors lived can paint a picture that will
bring this person to life in a way few records can. " Sandra Hargreaves*
