Abstract
As the popularity of genealogy continues to grow, an increasing number of genealogists are venturing into map and geography libraries to research their family histories. An assortment of geographical materials is essential for this type of research including gazetteers, atlases, historical maps and aerial photos. Given this genuine regard for geography, genealogists can and should be introduced to GIS. Numerous types of data that genealogists collect can be visually represented in mapping projects using ESRI's ArcView 9.1 software. Libraries that offer GIS services are perfectly suited to foster that initiation. GIS Librarians will be able to show examples and demonstrate for genealogists the endless possibilities in building a personalized family history atlas.
