The Inside of Grandma's House

If Grandma's house is still standing (or even if it isn't), have you considered drawing a map showing the rooms in the house, the relative location of any outbuildings, etc.? Even if your scale isn't perfect, a drawing is better than no drawing.

Those with urban ancestors may have fire insurance maps to provide some of those details. Others with rural forebears are not so fortunate.

    Yes I did this for my G-G-grandfathers's house to show the room layout (and where he was laid out prior to the funeral) and the placement of outbuildings used in his stonemason business.
