Last week was my final institute for 2022. Yes, I did four of them, only because I wanted to take advantage of the virtual offerings and everything aligned with my 2022 educational goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time around I took Land Records: Using Maps in Genealogical Research<\/em>, with Melinda Kashuba through the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR). I\u2019ve been wanting to take this course since I first learned about it (and institutes!) some 13 or so years ago. And of course, I was not disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I LOVE maps and use them a lot for genealogy (especially for problem-solving), but I had a few goals in mind before class started. I wanted to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Learn more about topographic maps, since I hadn\u2019t used them since college.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Explore different types of maps that I\u2019d never thought of to use for genealogy or had never even knew existed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Discover new places\/ways to find maps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Strengthen my map skills overall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    I got all of this and more! Melinda, Jerry Smith, Kimberly Powell, and Michael Strauss were all incredible instructors. Even in the virtual environment, there was still hands-on and small group learning, which I appreciated. I learned about all sorts of other maps that I wasn\u2019t familiar with (or not very familiar with), such as migration maps, statistical maps, and military maps. I got more training in plotting metes and bounds parcels (and learned about a program I can use for free to make life easier). And I simply had fun playing with and learning more about maps all week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, if you want to learn more about maps, this is the institute course to take!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    P.S. I\u2019d also like to say that the IGHR staff and volunteers did an excellent job behind the scenes making the week an enjoyable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
