'Using Google Earth for Genealogy'

Using Google Earth for Genealogy: by Lisa Louise Cooke

Google Earth Pro is a 360-degree three-dimensional way to view your ancestor’s world! In this session, you will learn how to use Google Earth’s tools in conjunction with genealogical research techniques to identify old photos, find, plot, and virtually visit your ancestor’s homestead, and local and use historic maps. Finally, Google Earth has the power to geographically document your ancestor’s life. Every genealogist can benefit from using Google Earth Pro, and, best of all, it’s free!

Lisa Louise Cooke is the author of several books including The Genealogist’s Google Toolbox, 3rd edition. She produces and hosts the popular Genealogy Gems podcast, and the free weekly YouTube show Elevenses with Lisa at the Genealogy Gems YouTube channel.
