Do you have GPS coordinates for Miles? In the AniMap database there are several Miles* in Centre. Milesburgh, Milesburg, Milesboro. All have the same GPS coordinates so the name has changed a few time. Centre County didn't exist in 1728.
I had no problem finding Bethlehem, Northhampton. Pine Grove is in there too. Here are the step by step instructions to find Pine Grove (I am using this one as an example) 1) Bring up PA (you don't have to change the year yet) 2) On the toolbar hit OPTIONS and then SITEFIND a list of all places in PA will come up 3) On the toolbar hit SEARCH and then BY NAME 4) Type Pine Grove in the SEARCH FOR box. Type PA in the STATE box (you can leave the county blank) 5) Double click the Pine Grove that is in Schuykill. A little box will come up. You can ignore it. 6) X out of the window that has the list of places in PA and you will be back at the map of PA 7) On the toolbar hit OPTIONS then PLOT. Double click Pine Grove and now it will be placed on your map. 8) Now you can play with the years to see what county Pine Grove was in when. 9) You can go through this process as many times as you want and you can add multiple locations to the same map. Let me know if you get it to work!

It just doesn't show it. Also, looking for Bethlehem (Lower Nazareth), Northhampton, Pennsylvania for 1763. Pine Grove, Berks (Schuhlkill). Pennsylvania 1802. I'm don't know how to navigate around the site and need help with that. Perhaps I'm expecting too much.

I use AniMap all the time. Yes, you can consult the Redbook or the Handybook to see when a county was formed from what parent county BUT in Animap you can plot specific places (more than one at a time) and see where they are in relation to these boundary changes. For example, a town might be right near the border of another county in 1863 so you know that you need to check the adjacent county. Most people would travel to the point that was easiest to get to do their business. It might not be in the county that they lived. You can link families in different counties because you can see that they actually lived quite close to each other. You can overlay a modern map over the top. It also show a lot of things other than towns, like cemeteries and churches. AND, you can plot by lat/long :) Michele -----Original Message----- From: Barbara [mailto:bschwart...@twcny.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 7:12 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] AniMap While I like the concept of AniMap and I have a copy, I'm having difficulty understanding just how to use it. I'm would like to talk with someone through my email address, rather than take up the Legacy User Group time, as I know this is not really what our Legancy user group is all about.
