| I got a little carried away tonight and goofed around with Social Explorer (which is free if you just use the Federal Census Data, 1790-abt 1940). The map shows the move that my 5th great grandparents made after their marriage in Bertie County, North Carolina to (then) frontier Lincoln County, Georgia (this map was used with 1800 Census state and county information) |
I finally buckled down and used the Social Explorer site to make custom historical maps for my ancestors - 5th Great Grandparents Elizabeth Ward and John H. Hardy. There is a learning curve but it is pretty intuitive overall, and they give you a lot of control on making custom maps.
The following is the pricing for this service. I think if you belong to an institution of higher learning, government, or business you may already have the ability to access this. In San Diego, for instance, it looks like UCSD has it available at any time by a limited number of students.

| I use the free service. If you pay more of course you get more functionality but even the limited functions are powerful. |
