This is an announcement for Genealogists/Family Historians and any other interested folks.

For anyone that might be interested I am working on a project dealing with migration. Initially, this project involves Early PA Migration and Google Earth. But, this can appply to any state, or country for that matter. For example: I mark all the counties of PA, and link them to the respective PA-Roots research project page(s) to facilitate an immediate link for additional research. I also overlay an early map of Philadelphia as well as the entire state, and am targeting old PA Forts as well as American Indian villages. Furthermore, I am laying out the migration paths/trails westward through PA.

I've recently started a Blog which primary purpose is using, or showing you how Google Earth can enhance Genealogy. Its "how to" approach is for those that have never used Google Earth. Although, I do make suggestions on enhancing a family history tour and adding it to your existing or in-progress Family History book/CD.

If you haven't seen Google Earth your in for a huge surprise in how current technology can support our respective families histories. I really believe that Google Earth can have a significant impact in the way we share this important part of our history with our descendants.

To this point I am honored that my Blog is listed on Cyndi's List: http://www.cyndislist.com and mentioned by sites, such as; Google Earth Blog> http://www.gearthblog.com/ Random Genealogy> http://randomgenealogy.com and others.

I'm trying to get my Blog off the ground, and would be very interested in anyone's feedback on it, the way I approach the "how to's" of Google Earth, etc., etc...
