These maps are just fun!!! They are yours, and fully customizable, so you can make them anything you want. They could track the migrations of a single family across time. They could show the genesis of your entire family. They could be where your DNA matches are found.

I did this one just for fun and it shows where my ancestors were born, where they died, and states they lived in where they were neither born nor died. You can see the westward migration, but not many ventured past the Mississippi and none beyond Texas!
Red = born
Purple = died, but not born there
Yellow = lived but not born or died there
Have fun!!!
