your research. A current State map is especially helpful to locate a
County when all you know is the town or city. Call 1-800-555-1212,
and the call is FREE. Ask the Operator for the 800 number for the
Tourism Information, for any State you want.
I just ordered the Travel Packets for IL, IN, KS, LA, NY, OH,
PA, TN, TX, and VA. It will give me the MAPS that I need,
without leaving my house, and at no cost to me.
Pennsylvania was even kind enough to volunteer sending a Genealogy
Brochure, in addition to their packet, after I told her I was a researcher
planning a trip for an ancestor hunt.
It seems to help if you speak as though you are really planning a trip,
and not just collecting maps. Play the game.
Let your fingers do the walking, and give the mailman a hernia.
