Here's a New Internet Tool for Genealogists:

http://maps.google.com/

If you can't physically visit that ancestor home from the 1930 census,
check it out of Google Maps. Or look for that cemetery in their old
home town.

Links on the right will help you navigate at Google Maps.

It also conveniently supplies a "link to this page" to share the map with
fellow
researchers.

Here's an example of Brooke's Court House at
632 Main Street, Wellsburg, WV
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=632+main+street,+wellsburg,+wv&spn=0.031543,0.060176&hl=en

You'll find this also helpful in vacation trips, and planning your next
genealogy venture!
