Improved Insights into County Boundary Movements in the United States

CLocke1

Issue: Boundary lines for U.S. counties move over time. This affects genealogical records search strategy.

Documentation of boundary line moments is available here: https://digital.newberry.org/ahcb/map/map.html#GA

This resource documents boundary changes over time. It provides insight into the change. It does not provide the (legislative) authority for that change.

Proposed solution: Consider linking this resource to Family Search guidance pages if the licensing terms allow this.
