How to Make a Map of Places I've Lived
If you've lived in a lot of places it can be interesting to make a map of all of them. Print it and keep it with a family tree, or keep a digital copy to show people online. There are a number of specialist services that offer these maps, but you can also use a standard mapping program such as Google Maps. All three of these suggestions will require you to have an account if you wish to save the map.
