I’ve completed first day of Advanced Land Records: Maps with
Rick Sayre as the Coordinator. We also met our other instructors: Melinda
Kashuba, Kimberly Powell, and Jerry Smith.
The morning was an overview of what our week will be, plus
Rick gave us an introduction to mapping America and a lesson on land division.
After lunch we headed via bus to the Utah State Archives,
where Melinda led a discussion about how to read maps and then we met in small
groups to look at and analyze a few maps. Luckily we received a list of what to
make notice of and to think about how the maps could help us genealogically.

It was much fun seeing the variety of Utah maps that the archives have in their collection. I really love hands on activities.
