Google Map view of my 1940 Census Findings

I want to thank Dear MYRTLE and her daughter Carrie for the idea (AND Instructions) to put what was found in looking at the 1940 Census. Each of the “house” symbols has a story. Don’t forget to zoom in and out to put the area into perspective.

Please visit Dear MYRTLE‘s Blog and Carries Blog that are linked here.

You may have to zoom out and move the map around to see the yellow houses that are there.

Love it! I’d make this blog post a permanent link on a tab or side nav bar, so it is easy for distant cousins to find it.

  Dear MYTLE,
  
  I think it came out pretty good. Not bad for a “day trip” to take pictures from the findings out of the UNINDEXED 1940 Census. All posted in Google Maps, in my genealogy database, Census Images and House Photos, and a series of Blog Posts that will run over the next couple of days.
  
  Thanks to your Carrie for the instructions on how to do this.
  
  Thanks Cuz,
  
  Russ

      Carrie,
      
      I haven’t figured out IF I want to put the Census Image that I created, for just the household.
      
      Thank you,
      
      Russ
