This is a long shot, but I found one county (very important in my family history) based its real-estate assessment information on 19th-century owners.  So Jane Doe, owner of 123 Main Street, was on John Smith's land.  All I had to do was find all the addresses on Mapquest and I had a picture of my family's holdings.  I think most counties now have this information on their website.  --Sally Phillips

Sometimes you can find maps with locations of families, but don't count on
it too much. 


I would like to know if there is a site that can determine the actual 
residence/farm from a 1870 census form.  There are NO streets named, only
number 
of residence and number of family visited.  The district and towns (in some 
insatances) are named.
Thanks,
Aurelia
