Users of AniMap will benefit from a new training video CD entitled Plucking, Plotting, and Places: a Video Tutorial of AniMap. The tutorials teach the ins and outs of AniMap and include written step-by-step instructions.
Developed by Millennia’s Geoff Rasmussen, the instruction helps overcome AniMap’s learning curve and teaches genealogy methodology at the same time.
AniMap has long been known to be the best resource for understanding the changing country boundaries in the U.S. and parts of Canada. Learning how to use it has been the researcher’s challenge. The video plays on the computer, so it’s easy to switch between it and AniMap to learn.
