The Mother of All County Atlas Collections

While writing up my last post I decided to see what else was new in the world of land records on Ancestry and I found out that I REALLY NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION!!!  On June 24, 2007, Ancestry.com added a collection called U.S. County Land Ownership Atlases, c. 1864-1918.  This will make life so much easier!  I already have access to all the local atlases I need, but it can be difficult to find an obscure atlas from a state you’ve never been in.  This will help especially when I’m doing research for others.  Plus, it’s just plain interesting to go through old atlases.  If you don’t think so then you’re just weird…
