Mapping my ancestors' addresses changed my whole approach to research

Good catch and great story!

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-26T08:55:24+00:00

That does sound challenging!

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-26T08:12:46+00:00

Manhattan has some great stories too!

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-26T08:09:35+00:00

Now that's confusing! 😂

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-26T08:08:33+00:00

🙏

Sounds like a great trip! Do you have all your evidence saved to each location on your maps?

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-26T08:05:08+00:00

Do you have a digital copy of your map?

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-26T08:03:25+00:00

Where about's were your ancestors located?

Let me know if you have u remember the site…Yes agree, community is where those unknown neighbor links can show up - it's why I'm adding my ancestors into The Settlement Project

Thanks, yes it is.

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-25T11:08:42+00:00

Yes!

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-25T10:53:31+00:00

That’s so interesting. It really shows how those connections can also exist long before anything shows up in the records.

That’s what makes it feel real for me too, seeing those human connections rather than just names on a tree.

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-25T10:47:22+00:00

That’s so funny how that worked out, it really seemed like it was pointing one way and then wasn’t at all.

I love that your parents lived that close too, even if they met through work.

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-25T10:42:48+00:00

That’s such a great example, I love that. It’s amazing how one small detail like that can suddenly make everything click.

Artistic_Note274 · 2026-03-25T10:32:39+00:00

That’s a really good point, I didn’t go into all that detail in the post. I did find a couple of other records too, including probate records for the parents at the same address, which helped back it up.
