Do you wish you could find where your ancestor lived on a current map? Freeways, large buildings and city replanning can make it hard - Over time, neighborhoods change or disappear, roads get renamed or rerouted. Using case studies, we'll look at techniques to locate those old addresses on current maps - even when the old addresses no longer exist. 


Lisa Minogue was a software architect and a computer science professor before retiring to spend more time on her family history. She loves to find creative ways to use old records to solve genealogy problems. In 2023, Lisa completed "Advanced Skills in Genealogy," through the National Genealogical Society.
