TIP OF THE WEEK –
COUNTY LINES ON GOOGLE MAPS 

In the eyes of genealogists, a shortcoming of Google Maps is that they do no display county lines. A few days ago, in Dick Eastman’s blog titled “Displaying County Lines on Google Maps”, he introduces a couple of tools by Randy Majors to overcome the problem. The first will overlay county lines on Google Maps for the US, UK, or Ireland. The second is a tool that will display historical county lines on a Google Map for locations in the US, as of a certain date that you provide. Check out these tools for yourself at :
