Time-based Ancestor Map

DavidKentDuke

It would be interesting and helpful to have a map showing family event locations with a scroll bar to adjust the time frame shown on the map. This time-based map would allow a researcher to understand how family events tie together, even across different family lines that may come from the same area (or the area currently shown on the map). It could help identify migration patterns, inconsistent locations (where a child attached to a family but born hundreds of miles from the rest of the children), and help with knowing where to look for records and in what time frame. Some kind of last value hold as the scroll bar is moved may be necessary as events are discrete, but people lived in places for many years.
