Making Family HiStory Maps using ArcGIS Online
Making Family HiStory Maps using ArcGIS Online
Family HiStory Maps enable you tell a story about one or a group of ancestors in an engaging way that shows you where they lived and travelled against the background of a map.
They are ideal for sharing with relatives via a web link that lets them follow the story you have researched, at their own pace, when they become interested to do so, or for you to use to remind yourself of the story details as you sit with them and chat about that story concerning your shared ancestor(s).
There is no software or website cost to either make or view these Family HiStory Maps due to the FREE accounts generously provided by Esri (ArcGIS Online) and Yahoo! (Flickr). The purchase price of this eLearning video course is the only cost to enable you to start making your first Family HiStory Map today!
Prior to (or while) taking this course it is recommended that you view one or more of these Family HiStory Maps which have been made using the same techniques taught during the course. They can be found by searching on their titles at ArcGIS Online.
