You might even want to make a tour based on the wanderings of your ancestory, Google Earth calls them movies. You can zoom out of the map you are in and get a visual on the route your ancestor took. For example, your great uncle went from place to place (presumably for work) as shown on the US Census. You can plot (with Placemarks) the path your ancestor took in this and other countries. This is a great feature if your ancestory lived in Sweden and you live in Nebraska. With this program, you can "fly to" a location where your ancestor lived. Glad you asked!
