“Homesteading, Plat Maps and Swedish Tidbits”
This presentation will cover the basics on where to find Homestead Records and Plat Maps. Also she will show some examples of real homesteaders, one of them Swedish. If time allows, we may try overlaying a plat map on Google Earth. Also if time allows, she will cover some Swedish social media. This presentation is geared toward the beginner and intermediate researcher.
