Layering images, videos, census records, and pages from old books on top of old maps adds context and gives a strong sense of traveling back through time (a super power every family historian wants!) Screenshot of Google Earth Proīelow are a couple of videos demonstrating how I used Google Earth to visually render my Liverpool ancestors’ lives in different ways. You can get a real sense of how far an ancestor had to walk to Church or to school or, as in the case of my Liverpool ancestors, to the riverside docks where many of them worked.
Old maps give extraordinary insights into the layout of a town and what daily life may have looked like in the past.
