New Online Tool uses Google Maps to Show Historical County Boundaries - Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter

This looks like a great resource tool! I don’t know about you but I have experienced the frustration of searching for historical facts only to find later that I was looking in the WRONG county! My most recent experience was when I was part of our research trip to the NC State Archives in 2009. I was searching index cards and microfilm for hours before our guide pointed out that the location I was looking for was not part of the current county and in fact was part of another State!

Read Dick’s article for more information about this great tool from Randy Majors.

The three words on the scroll of the Coats of Arms are "Vincit amor patriae"

"Vincit amor patriae" means "The love of my country prevails" or "Love of Country Conquers" which is the United States Army 28th Infantry Regiment's motto. "Vincent amor patriae laudumque immensa cupido" means "The love of my country exceeds everything."

The following motto appears in English above the mountain cat of the original Baron Muncaster Crest. "Firm, Vigilant, Active" -Virg. AEn. vi. 823 v. Muncaster b. Pennington
