FamilySearch Map Page

Michael Dindinger notes that the first FamilySearch "hidden page" is the Map Page

The first of these hidden pages is not the Timeline. However, this link on every person's detail page is usually ignored. The actual hidden page is on the Timeline page but unless you go to the Timeline page, you are not likely to ever see this "hidden" page and use it.




Yes, it is the Map page. Here is what happens when you click the slider switch to "turn on" the page.




Now you not only have a timeline you also have a map showing every place identified on the person's detail page including sources and Other Information. In addition, there is yet another level to this page. Down at the bottom of the page, there is a button to "Show Route." Clicking on that button shows you the chronological movements of your relative or ancestor. Here is a more complicated example.




You have to zoom in to see the details of all the movements.


Well, that was pretty simple. What about the next hidden page?
