This presentation will suggest strategies to correlate large amounts of information often developed in urban research, with a significant emphasis on the use of cartographic resources. Generally, researchers of urban settings have an abundance of sources to consider. Many times, the challenge is to connect and analyze multiple, even overwhelming, amounts of information. A variety of resources will be discussed, especially, cadastral maps (land ownership), Sanborn fire insurance maps and city directories.

Great presentation! Love all the information and resources available. Thank you!
Soundly packed with excellent information – Rick Sayre provides well thought-out practical applications using Geography and Genealogy, soundly undergirded with the Genealogy Proof Standard and professional considerations. One for the “repeat” button, definitely!
Rick Sayre, thank you for your in-depth and broad coverage presentation!!! I’ll need to watch the replay in chunks to grasp the information. Also, I will make a note to myself that this webinar is a fantastic urban mapping reference for my future research. Thanks again!
So much information, wonderfully and clearly presented. I will definitely watch again. I’m pleased that the syllabus is so comprehensive.
What can I say? Rick is always great. He is the expert on maps!
So much genealogy knowledge in Maps!
My relatives usually lived at least one block past the edge of the zone valuable enough for insurance maps! But what great examples of correlation, and was happy to save and print out the huge handout.
Superior as usual.
