Further, she will demonstrate how to add notes, photos, and icons depicting your family’s unique history and will present useful ideas for a variety of your own maps, even for planning a research trip. You can then share these unique maps with family members and continue to add to them in the future. You can use her handout to follow the presentation step-by-step.
