Travelling Back In Time Using Google Earth Pro presented by Marie Palmer

October 5 @ 1:15 pm - 3:00 pm

Monday, October 5, 2026, 1:15 pm – 3:00pm

Marie Palmer will present TRAVELLING BACK IN TIME USING GOOGLE EARTH PRO.

On Zoom only!

Google Earth Pro is a free program that gives you a way to map out your ancestors’ lives and add unlimited visuals and text to the map. It can help us better understand the places where our ancestors lived and sometimes even leads us to answers we’ve been searching for. Kids especially love to “fly” through time and see where their ancestors lived.

Marie has a Master of Science degree in Information Science and Library Management from the University of Northumbria, UK, 2008. She has more recently completed several programs in genealogy, including the Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist, July 2025.

Her current work is described on her website
